Papa Can You Hear Me
Barbra Streisand
Oh 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? Bm7-5 E7sus E7 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 Am7 G7sus that yesterday has waved goodbye And closed it’s doors? Fmaj7 B7sus B7 The night is so much darker. Emaj7 Db7sus Bb7 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 Bm7-5 E7sus E7 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? Fmaj7 B7sus B7 The trees are so much taller Emaj7 Db7sus Bb7 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.
