Papa, Can You Hear Me?

Papa Can You Hear Me

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 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

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
