Papa, Can You Hear Me? (Studio Version)

Papa, Papa 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 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 Goodnight Papa
