Barbra Streisand
Papa, Can You Hear Me? (Studio Version)
[Intro]
Papa
Papa
[Chorus]
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?
[Verse 1]
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 it's 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
[Chorus]
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?
[Verse 2]
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?
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Goodnight
Papa
Papa
