wishing you were somehow here again

Tarja Turunen

Little Lotte thought of everything and nothing
Her Father promised her
That he would send her the Angel of Music
Her father promised her
Her father promised her

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
