Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again Lyrics

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 I dream 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...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
