Papa, Can You Hear Me / A Piece Of Sky Lyrics - Singles - Michael Crawford

It all began the day I found 

That from my window I could only see a piece of sky 

I stepped outside and looked around 

I never dreamed it was so wide or even half as high 

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 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 

Can you hear me praying 

Anything I'm saying 

Even though the night is 

Filled with voices? 

I remember everything you taught me 

Every 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 

The night feels 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 good night 

I felt the most amazing things 

The things you can't imagine if you've never flown at all 

Though it's safer to stay on the ground 

Sometimes where danger lies there the sweetest of pleasures are found 

No matter where I go 

There'll be memories that tug at my sleeve 

But there will also be 

Mortal question, yet mortal belief 

Oh, tell me where 

Where is this someone who will turn to look at me 

And want to share 

My every sweet-imagined possibility 

The more I live, the more I learn 

The more I learn, the more I realize 

The less I know 

Each step I take, papa, I've a voice now 

Each page I turn, papa, I've a choice now 

Each mile I travel only means 

The more I have to go 

What's wrong with wanting more? 

If you can fly then soar 

With all there is, why settle for 

Just a piece of sky? 

Papa, I can hear you 

Papa, I can see you 

Papa, I can feel you 

Papa, watch me fly
