Daddy Can You Hear Me

Eva Joy Blevins 1988 (Paramount)

Daddy, can you hear me?
Even when the words don't come out right.
Daddy, did you feel me?
Even though I wasn't there that night.
Daddy, I feel your presence,.
Even though you aren't here.
Daddy, I know you protect me
From everything that I fear.
Daddy, I look up at the night sky
Blue twinkling stars remind me of your eyes.
Daddy, I surely miss you
 More than you realise
Daddy, I feel so lonely
Since you went back home
Daddy, I know you surround me
When I feel alone.
