You were once nMy one companion nYou were all nThat mattered nYou were once nA friend and father nThen my world nWas shattered nnWishing you were nSomehow here again nWishing you were nSomehow near nSometimes it seemed nIf I just dreamed nsomehow you would nBe here nnWishing I could nHear your voice again nKnowing that I nNever would nDreaming of you nWon't help me to do nAll that you dreamed nI could nnPassing bells nAnd sculpted angels nCold and monumental nSeem, for you nThe wrong companions nYou were warm and gentle nnToo many years nFighting back tears nWhy can't the past nJust die nWishing you were nSomehow here again nKnowing we must nSay goodbye nTry to forgive nTeach me to live nGive me the strength nTo try nnNo more memories nno more silent tears nNo more gazing across nThe wasted years nHelp me say goodbye nHelp me say goodbye ...
