CHRISTINE<br>

You were once<br>

my one companion . . .<br>

you were all<br>

that mattered . . .<br>

You were once<br>

a friend and father -<br>

then my world<br>

was shattered . . .<br>

<br>

Wishing you were<br>

somehow here again . . .<br>

wishing you were<br>

somehow near . . .<br>

Sometimes it seemed<br>

if I just dreamed,<br>

somehow you would<br>

be here . . .<br>

<br>

Wishing I could<br>

hear your voice again . . .<br>

knowing that I<br>

never would . . .<br>

Dreaming of you<br>

won't help me to do<br>

all that you dreamed<br>

I could . . .<br>

<br>

Passing bells<br>

and sculpted angels,<br>

cold and monumental,<br>

seem, for you,<br>

the wrong companions -<br>

you were warm and gentle . . .<br>

<br>

Too many years<br>

fighting back tears . . .<br>

Why can't the past<br>

just die . . .?<br>

<br>

Wishing you were<br>

somehow here again . . .<br>

knowing we must<br>

say goodbye . . .<br>

Try to forgive . . .<br>

teach me to live . . .<br>

give me the strength<br>

to try . . .<br>

<br>

No more memories,<br>

no more silent tears . . .<br>

No more gazing across<br>

the wasted years . . .<br>

Help me say<br>

goodbye.<br>

<br>

<br>
