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 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 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
