Lyrics

[00:01.17] Little Lottie thought of everything and nothing
[00:09.00] Her father promised her that he
[00:13.76] Would sent her The Angel Of Music
[00:19.69] Her father promised her
[00:24.08] Her father promised her
[00:32.45] You were once my one companion
[00:38.75] You were all that mattered
[00:45.06] You were once a friend and father
[00:51.58] Then my world was shattered
[00:57.30] Wishing you were somehow here again
[01:03.37] Wishing you were somehow near
[01:09.43] Sometimes it seemed if I just dreamed
[01:15.44] Somehow you would be here
[01:21.39] Wishing I could hear your voice again
[01:27.60] Knowing that I never would
[01:33.26] Dreaming of you won't help me to do
[01:39.25] All that you dreamed I could
[01:45.70] Pulsing bells and sculptured angles
[01:51.82] Cold and monumental
[01:57.30] Seemed for you the wrong companion
[02:03.87] You were warm and gentle
[02:22.60] Too many years fighting back tears
[02:28.19] Why can't the past just die?
[02:33.85] Wishing you were somehow here again
[02:40.58] Knowing we must say good bye
[02:47.23] Try to forgive teach me to live
[02:52.66] Give me the strength to try
[02:58.40] No more memories no more silent tears
[03:04.47] No repeating of lost and wasted years
[03:14.76] Help me say good bye
