wishing you were somehow here again

you were once my one companion
you were all the mattered
you were once my friend and angel
then my world was shattered

wishing you were somehow here again
wishing you were somehow near
sometimes it seemed if i just dreamed
somehow you would be here

wishing i could hear your voice again
knowing that i never would
dreaming of you helped me to do
all that you dreamed i could...

passing bells and sculpted angels,
cold and monumental
seem, for you, the wrong companions
you are warm and gentle

too many years fighting back tears
why can't the past just die?
wishing you were somehow here again
knowing we must say goodbye

try to forgive
teach me to live
give me the strength to try

no more memories
no more silent tears
no more gazing across the wasted years

help me say goodbye
