Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again

In memory of my dad, Allen. August 20, 1939 - September 10, 2007.


Phantom Of The Opera - 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 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!

I'm so sorry for your loss. Reading these lyrics I couldn't help but think of when my dad died. I pray that you will feel the strength and support of the prayers of others. They truly have the power to prop you up when you can't stand on your own. I pray strength and comfort for you. When you need to crumble, may you find the space and time to do so, and also the will to go on from there. Much love.
