Papa, Can You Hear Me? - From "Yentl" Soundtrack

God - our heavenly Father
 Oh God - and my father
 Who is also in heaven
 May the light
 Of this flickering candle
 Illuminates 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 yersterday
 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 thaught me
 Every 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
