Barbra Streisand - Papa, can you hear me? lyrics

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 waved good-bye 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 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 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
