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

(From the ‘Phantom of the Opera’)

    faye,

    thanks for posting this for me. this was one of the songs i listened to often, shortly after we lost den. it seems to have been written precisely for us. :)

    Gives me the chills, because perhaps on this very day of posting, I was listening to this song, as sung by Michael Crawford. In fact, I played it twice because I wanted to hear the lyrics better so I could post it. I always thought of it as a tender song for a passed father (which is exactly the context in Phantom of the Opera). How minds connect!

    Vey
