You were once my one companion

You were all that mattered

You were once a friend and father

Wishing you were somehow here again

    All that you dreamed I could

Passing bells and sculpted angels
Cm        D
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
F/Bb     Eb/Bb
No more silent tears!
         Bb     F/Bb      Eb/Bb  F7/Bb
No more gazing across the wasted years!

Help me say    good  bye

Help me say    good  bye!
