Phantom of the Opera: Wishing You Were Somehow Here Songtext
von Andrew Lloyd Webber

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


Three long years, I've knelt in silence
Held your memory near me
Three long years of murmured sorrow
Willing you to hear me

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"
