A long long time ago i used to listen to this song and think about my father. Thinking i would never see him again or get the chance to talk to him, until i got in contact with him when i was 16 years old thanks to my brother going out there to see him. Then just last October I got to finally meet my father face to face and this song will still have meaning to me about what my past was like, but it no longer has to mean the same thing now!
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 . . .
Passing bells
and sculpted angels,
cold and monumental,
seem, for you,
the wrong companions -
you were warm and gentle . . .
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
I cant wait to go out and see him again because i miss him alot and i miss my brother and sister in law along with my niece!
