Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again
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, to you, the wrong companions.
You were warm and gentle.
Or
Three long years, I've knelt in silence.
Held your memory near me.
Three long years of murmured sorrows.
Willing you to hear me.
Too many years,
fighting back tears.
Why can't the past just die?
Wishing you were somehow here again!
Knowing we must say good-bye...
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 good-bye...
Help me say, good-bye! (optional)
What I'd Give To Have You Here Again (Different Version of Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again, performed at the Royal Variety Show)
You were once my one companion.
You were all that mattered.
You were once a friend and father.
Then my world was shattered.
Sometimes in my silent reveries.
Seldom, I shall not hear.
Memories run by, grow in my mind,
Reaching across the years.
What I'd give to have you here again.
God, I really need you now.
Turn back my gaze, to far away days.
Speak to me please, somehow.
Three long years, I've knelt in silence.
Held your memory near me.
Three long years of murmured sorrows.
Willing you to hear me.
What I'd give to have you here again...
Star in the sky,
Can you tell me why,
Heaven's so far away?
What I'd give to have you here again!
I've been alone so long...
Echos of you, wake and break through.
Scaring and strange and strong!
All the memories!
All the wise and true.
Parting memories,
Of the times we knew.
What I'd give for you...
