Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again

原來，這樣的歌聲和歌詞，除了「如怨，如慕，如泣，如訴」，還能如何形容？

Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again (盼你仍在我身邊)
作曲: Andrew Lloyd Webber
作詞: Charles Hart; additional lyrics by Richard Stilgoe
原唱：Sarah Brightman (莎拉布萊曼)

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.
