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
This is and always will be my favourite musical ever still makes me cry lol ..I have the Micheal Crawford and Sarah Brighton album on cassette I got for my birthday many many years ago and I was hooked the first time I listen to it and fell in love ❤️
I dedicated this song to my late fiance who passed away last year in September due to his type 1 diabetes. I still wish he was here with me and everything cuz he was pretty much everything I wanted in life and was the love of my life. But I know he would want me to move on and find someone else which I have a boyfriend now but still, I cant let go of my fiance. I dont think I ever will be able to.
I listened to this shortly after my grandmother’s death, and now, I genuinely listen to it in memory of my father. This musical has genuine beauty, and is what a musical ought to be.
