Papa, Can You Hear Me Lyrics - Singles - Barbara Streisand

PRAYER 

God - our heavenly Father. 

Oh, God - and my father 

Who is also in heaven. 

May the light 

Of this flickering candle 

Illuminate 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 yesterday 

Has come and gone 

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 taught 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.
