Wishing you were somehow here again - Phantom of the Opera
It was 7 years ago today that Ruth was hit by the truck that killed her, although it took another week for her body to die. I have listened to the Phantom of the Opera soundtrack countless times over the years and the words to this song just leapt out at me today. It so fits how I feel right now. It’s also bittersweet because it was Ruth who first took me to see Phantom and gave me the soundtrack CD that I’m listening to.
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!
