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

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
