[00:00.00]Papa, Can You Hear Me?
[00:02.38]
[00:25.01]May the light
[00:27.31]Of this flickering candle
[00:29.98]Illuminate the night the way
[00:33.36]Your spirit illuminates my soul
[00:48.03]Papa, can you hear me?
[00:54.13]Papa, can you see me?
[00:58.62]Papa, can you find me in the night?
[01:06.50]Papa, are you near me?
[01:09.32]Papa, can you hear me?
[01:11.34]Papa, can you help me not be frightened?
[01:18.51]Looking at the skies I seem to see a million eyes
[01:22.65]Which ones are yours?
[01:27.95]Where are you now that yesterday has waved goodbye
[01:31.89]And closed it's doors?
[01:35.07]The night is so much darker, the wind is so much colder
[01:41.98]The world I see is so much bigger now that I'm alone
[01:49.29]Papa, please forgive me
[01:52.77]Try to understand me
[01:55.33]Papa, don't you know I had no choice?
[02:00.23]Can you hear me praying, anything I'm saying
[02:05.35]Even though the night is filled with voices?
[02:11.30]I remember everything you taught me
[02:14.61]Every book I've ever read
[02:21.71]Can all the words in all the books
[02:24.16]Help me to face what lies ahead?
[02:28.81]
[02:29.00]The trees are so much taller and I feel so much smaller
[02:35.38]The moon is twice as lonely and the stars are half as bright
[02:43.77]
[02:47.00]Papa, how I love you
[02:50.38]Papa, how I need you
[02:55.26]Papa, how I miss you
[03:00.07]Kissing me goodnight
[03:17.98]
