Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again - Live

You were once
 my one companion . . .
 you were all
 that mattered . . .
 You were once
 a friend and father -
 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
 won't help me to do
 all that you dreamed
 I could . . .
 Passing bells
 and sculpted angels,
 cold and monumental,
 seem, for you,
 the wrong companions -
 you were 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.
