Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You were once my one companion
You were all that mattered
You were once a friend and father
Then my world was shattered
[Verse 2]
Wishing you were somehow here again
Wishing you were somehow near
Sometimes it seemed if I just dreamed
Somehow you would be here
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Passing bells and sculpted angels
Cold and monumental
Seem for you the wrong companions
You were warm and gentle
[Verse 5]
Too many years fighting back tears
Why can't the past just die?
[Verse 6]
Wishing you were somehow here again
Knowing we must say goodbye
Try to forgive, teach me to live
Give me the strength to try
[Verse 7]
No more memories, no more silent tears
No more gazing across the wasted years
Help me say goodbye
Help me say
Goodbye
Written by: Andrew Lloyd Webber, Charles Hart, Richard Stilgoe
