André Rieu & Mirusia - Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again (Phantom Of The Opera)

André Rieu & Mirusia performing Andrew Lloyd Webber's 'Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again' from The Phantom Of The Opera, live in Dresden, Germany. Taken from the DVD "André Rieu Live In Dresden: Wedding At The Opera".

Original 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 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"
Help me say, "Goodbye"

My husband recorded me singing this at karaoke on one of early dates. Now on what would've been our 10th wedding anniversary I pass veiled and sculptured angels to where his body is laid to rest. Missing his warmth and gentleness and influence in our child's life. I know he is in good company in the presence of God, but I pray God helps us as we remain. God has been so close in this loss.

I can't stop thinking about what a spectacular Christine she would make.

[domenicgattellaro]

Nobody sings this like. Mirusia that is the most beautiful version I have heard thanks for sharing

Absolutely Stunning! She sings like an angel.

[homerdorton]

There are many beautiful and meaningful moments in the "Phantom" but this one touches something inside. This beautiful "Lament" so beautifully done touches one's

My wife and I and five others went to see her latest concert at the Twin Towns Services Club, Tweed Heads, Queensland yesterday (8/5/2022) and it was simply wonderful. To sit there and listening to that voice soar through the hall is simply divine. You have to see her live!. It is a new show and she took us through her career and how she got started and the songs she sang. This is the song (Wishing) that she sang to be awarded the Dame Joan Sutherland here in Australia in 2005 for young Opera singers when she was only 19. It wasn't long after that, Andre Rieu heard her and asked her to fly over to Holland to audition. At that audition she sang an aria composed by Mozart I think. I believe this young lady is the best singer Australia has produced in the last generation. She also has a very warm personality on stage and engages with the audience quite a bit. The concert is called 'Songbird'.

Love! Mirusia has such a beautiful voice for singing this timeless classic Phantom of the Opera.

It's unbelievable how talented this lady is. Every song she does, displays her heart and sole. Whether it be Hallelujah, flying over the audience singing supercali---, or here pouring out her heart. Oh yes, can't forget her actions with the other laides in Tritsh Tratch Polka. Mirusia is fabulous

[kaio]
