Lyrics

You were once my one com pan ion, you were all that mat tered.

You were once a friend and fa ther,

then my world was shat tered.

Wish ing you were some how here a gain,

wish ing you were some how near;

some times it seemed

if I just dreamed,

some how you would be here.

Wish ing I could hear your voice a gain,

know ing that I nev er would,

dream ing of you won’t help me to do

all that you dreamed I could.

Pass ing bells and sculp ted an gels, cold and mo nu men tal,

seem for you the wrong com pan ions;

you were warm and gen tle.

Too ma ny years,

fight ing back tears,

why can’t the past just die?

Wish ing you were some how here a gain,

know ing we must say good bye"

Try to for give,

teach me to live,

give me the strength to try.

No more me mo ries, no more si lent tears, no more gaz ing a cross the wast ed years.

Help me say

good

bye!
