Hayley Westenra - Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again lyrics

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 I dream 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
