Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again
(Version 2)
CHRISTINE
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 ...
Three long years,
I knelt in silence.
Held your memory near me.
Three long years
Of murmered 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.
