Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again

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 could
Dreaming of you won't help me to do
All that I dreamed I could

Three long years I knelt in silence
Held you memory near me
Three long years of murmured sorrow
Willing you to hear me

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
Help me say goodbye
