Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again from Phantom of the Opera - vocal

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"
 Help me say, "Goodbye"
