Barbra Streisand - Papa can you hear me (Yentl)

Clip with improved stereo sound from the movie Yentl (1983), directed and produced by Barbra Streisand. Song: "Papa can you hear me?", performed by Barbra Streisand.

For my father Reindert Vos (1924-2010):

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 ev'rything you taught me
Ev'ry 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.

Only Barbra Steisand and Whitney Houston could hit notes that make goosebumps happen. This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard in my life and that's when I thank GOD for allowing me to wake up everyday.

She was blessed with feeling and a voice.

A true artist.

Nobody can sing this song but Barbra! I've searched I've seen so many versions and she rocks it all the time.

I love this song..When my father had to come and get me out of jail--for protesting restaurants said Papa you teach me to stand up to what's wrong, so what did I do that was wrong? They are wrong..

I love you Barbra and thank you for putting so many of our feelings into your music and writing this great show/ play..Love philillie
