Papa, Can You Hear Me? Lyrics - Barbra Streisand

[Filled with a love for learning, Yentl has 

no choice after her father dies but to disguise 

herself as a man, so that she can pursue all 

her "sweet-imagined possibilities." Her journey begins...] 

[Prayer] 

Oh God-our heavenly 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.

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. 

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 1'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 good night...
