I placed the lyrics of this song, sang by Barbra Streisand as a dedication to my daddy. Those of us who loved him, lost him last Fri. night, at 11:45 p.m. This song has ALWAYS been the song I had chosen to help express the sorrow I would feel when the day came that he was no longer with me. (I took a little artistic license when I typed out the lyrics, changing only one word) I replaced papa with the term Daddy. I'm hoping Barbra won't mind.
The loss I feel is deeply expressed in the words of this song. It is also one of my daddy's favorite singers.
God - our havenly father.
Oh, God - and my father
Who is also in heaven.
May the light
Of this flickering candle
Illuminate the night the way
Your spirit illuminates my soul.
Daddy, can you hear me?
Daddy, can you see me?
Daddy, can you find me in the night?
Daddy, are you near me?
Daddy, can you hear me?
Daddy, 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 it’s 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.
Daddy, please forgive me.
Try to understand me.
Daddy, 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 taught me
Ev’ry 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.
Daddy, how I love you.
Daddy, how I need you.
Daddy, how I miss you
Kissing me goodnight.
