Lyrics Papa, Can You Hear Me? - Remastered - Nina Simone

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.
I know you understand me;
Papa, don't you know I have no choice? Oh!
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 music
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...
Daddy, how I love you...
Daddy, how I need you.
Daddy, how I miss you
Kissing me good night...
