Nina Simone - Papa, Can You Hear Me? lyrics

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 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 is so much bigger Now that i am alone Papa, please forgive me I know you understand me Papa, don't you know i had no chose? Oh, can you hear me prayin'? Anything i'm sayin'? Even though the night is filled with voices I remember everything you ever Taught me Evey book i've ever read Can all the words All the music help me face what's ahead? The trees are so much taller I feel so much smaller The moon is twice as lonely And the stars are half as bright Daddy, how i love you Daddy, how i need you Daddy, how i miss you Kissing me goodnight
