30 Days Meme- Day 16
Day 16 → A song that makes you cry (or nearly)
This song will always make me think of my dad, who died when I was 14. The lyrics just do it to me. Plus I was highly into Phantom around the time he died, and remember sitting in my old bedroom in the old house listening to this song and crying.
Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again
by Andrew Lloyd Webber
from The Phantom of the Opera
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 will
Dreaming of you won't help me to do
All that you dreamed I would.
I've been thinking of him a lot lately, as June of this year is the 10th anniversary of his death. I recently realized I've grown tired of hearing my Mom's stories of me when I was little over and over again. I dearly wish for more- basically I'm missing the other half, the other viewpoint. That's just the most recent thing. I also want to know what he'd think of my professional choice- of my college graduation. I want him to help me with the problems I face at work, since he was also a carpenter. I want to steal/borrow his tools that my mom sold. I want to have him teach me and help me refine my skills. I want to hug him. I want to hear his voice.
Yeah. This song is the one that does it to me.
