Barbara Striesand - Papa Can You hear me? From the movie Yentl. The lyrics are heart breaking, if you can listen to Striesand singing it, it takes your breath away! must be on youtube somewhere I guess.
God, My Heavenly Father
Oh God, and my father who’s also in Heaven
May the light of this flickering candle
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?
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 good bye
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
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 fillied with voices?
I remember everything you taught me
every book I’ve ever read.
Can all the words in all the books help me
to face what lies ahead?
Oh 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 good night
