**Can You Hear Me?**

 

 

 

 

Mama gives birth to a little child

Daddy waits with a patient smile

To tell him what he's brought to the world

They often tell she'll be daddy's girl

He hears a voice as she starts to climb

Looks through the window and tears fall from his eyes

Overwhelmed with the thoughts of the day

Does he hears her say

Daddy can you see me

Daddy can u hear the words I say

I've got your hands, your eyes, your hair,

And this little thing you call a teddy bear

I'll do what I can to make you proud

Daddy can you see me now.

He takes me fishing like I'm one of the guys

No one can break these ties that bind

We've got a bond that's precious and dear

It's stayed the same through all these years

As I get older and time goes by

He's got a shoulder if I need to cry

When I think that I'm doing ok

I run to him and say

Daddy can you see me

Daddy can u hear the words I say

I've got your hands, your eyes and your hair,

And I still hold on to my teddy bear

I'll do all I can to make you proud

Daddy can you see me now.

I look to the heavens for some kind of sign

For you to tell me that I'm doing fine

And every night when I kneel down to pray

I wonder if you hear me say

Daddy can you see me

Daddy can u hear the words I say

My life has changed since you went away

And I need to know if I'm doing ok

I've done all I can to make you proud

Daddy can you see me now.

I've done all I can to make you proud

Daddy can you see me now.

This site is dedicated to my daddy

Who waits for me in a better place

Some day we'll be together

And once more I'll see your face.

Gone to a better place on 2/27/90.

I hope this brings some peace to those

Whose fathers have gone ahead

To a heavenly place to wait

For the day you join them.
