NINA SIMONE - Papa, Can You Hear Me? lyrics

rate 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 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 is so much bigger

now that i am alone

papa, please forgive me

i know you understand me

papa, don't you know i had no chose?

oh, can you hear me prayin'?

anything i'm sayin'?

even though the night is filled with voices

i remember everything you ever

taught me

evey book i've ever read

can all the words,

all the music help me face what's ahead?

the trees are so much taller

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 goodnight
