You were once my one companion

You were all that mattered 
Gm              Fm 
You were once a friend and father

   Then my world was shattered

Wishing you were somehow here again

    All that you dreamed I could

Passing bells and sculpted angels 
Cm        D 
Cold and monumental 
Gm                Fm 
Seem, for you the wrong companions

You were warm and gentle

Too many years 
Bm7           Em 
Fighting back tears

    Why can't the past just die?

Wishing you were somehow here again

Try to forgive!

Teach me to live!

Give me the strength to try!

No more memories 
F/Bb     Eb/Bb 
No more silent tears! 
         Bb     F/Bb      Eb/Bb  F7/Bb 
No more gazing across the wasted years!

Help me say    good  bye

Help me say    good  bye!
