Papa Can You Hear Me

Charlotte Church

God


Oh God


May the light,


Illuminate the night, the way your spirit illuminates my soul


PAPA, CAN YOU HEAR ME?


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 door?


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 ev'rything you taught me


Ev'ry 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...
