I just wanted to add this because I thought of you today while listening to it:
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, 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.
Now I know it only slightly applies, but it brought me to tears. Miss you a lot, MJ.
