Papa, Can You Hear Me? - Barbra Streisand

God - our heavenly Father.

Oh God - and my father

Who is also in heaven.

May the light

Of this flickering candle

Illuminates the night the way

Your spirit illuminates my soul.

Papa, can you hear me?

Papa, can you see me?

Papa, can you find me in the night?

Papa, are you near me?

Papa, can you hear me?

Papa, can you help me not be

Frightened?

Looking at the skies

I seem to see a million eyes

Which ones are yours?

Where are you now that yersterday

Has waved goodbye

And closed its doors?

The night is so much darker.

The wind is so much colder.

The world I see is so much bigger

Now that I'm alone.

Papa, please forgive me.

Try to understand me.

Papa, don't you know I had no choice?

Can you hear me praying

Anything I'm saying

Even though the night is filled

With voices?

I remember ev'rything you thaught me

Ev'ry book I've ever read.

Can all the words in all the books

Help me to face what lies ahead?

The trees are so much taller

And I feel so much smaller.

The moon is twice as lonely

And the stars are half as bright.

Papa, how I love you.

Papa, how I need you.

Papa, how I miss you

Kissing me goodnight.
