lirik lagu barbra streisand - papa, can you hear me (yentl) [demo]

[intro]
this tape of music accompanies the scripts that are dated
september to december 1980
the film yentl will contain both original songs
which are heard on this tape
and also period music
after yentl’s father dies, she ventures out into the world disguised as a man
yentl, who had always thought life was difficult for a woman
was in for quite a surprise when she realized it was just as difficult for a man
having been thrown off a wagon in the dark of night
in the throes of fear at the edge of a forest
she lights a candle and speaks to her father in a song called
“papa, can you hear me?”

[verse 1]
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
[verse 2]
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 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?
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

[outro]
papa, how i love you
papa, how i need you
papa, how i miss you kissing me goodnight
