Lyrics
(I'm going to light this candle, memory of all those wise and good men, whose lives were senselessly, violently snuffed out of before their time, Lincoln, Gandhi, Martin Luther king, John F Kennedy, Ambo Sadat, Men of piece and vision, Voices the world so deceitfully needs now, father, father figures, I think we all lost someone whose gaudiness and wisdom we miss in times of fury and confusion and this is for them:)
May the light
Of this flickering candle
Illuminate the night the way
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 frightend?
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 everything you thought 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?
Writer(s): Michel Jean Legrand, Alan Bergman, Marilyn Bergman
