Barbra streisand papa can you hear me lyrics

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 Frightend?

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 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

Lyricist：Alan Bergman, Marilyn Bergman, Michel Legrand

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 it's 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

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

"Papa, Can You Hear Me?" is a 1983 song composed by Michel Legrand with lyrics by Alan Bergman and Marilyn Bergman, for Barbra Streisand in the title role of Yentl. The song was nominated for Best Original Song at the 56th Academy Awards; Streisand's longtime friend Donna Summer performed it during the ceremonies.[1] The song peaked at No.26 at Billboard's Adult Contemporary.[2]

Critical reception[edit]

Herald-Journal deemed it "forgettably gooey".[3] Ottawa Citizen negatively compared the song to the Star Wars theme, postulating that only the most loyal Streisand fans would make a cognitive connection to the musical upon hearing the tune.[4] Chicago Sun-Times deemed it "emotional".[5] Newsweek International said it was a "gay anthem".[6] However, for many Jews, and others who have lost a father, "Papa Can You Hear Me" is comparable to the treasured "My Yiddishe Momme", the moving lament for those who have lost a mother. Healing Times: A Personal Workbook created a therapeutic exercise based around the song.[7]

Covers[edit]

Singer and pianist Nina Simone recorded the song in 1993 on her final album A Single Woman. Her father had died in the 1970s.

Charlotte Church recorded the song as the 5th track on her 2001 album Enchantment.

West End performer Meredith Braun recorded the song on her 2012 album "Someone Else's Story"

In 2010, Glee did a cover in their episode 'Grilled Cheesus', sung by Lea Michele.

Iranian songstress Helen Matevosian covered it in her studio album "Oghyanoose Khali" ("Empty Ocean").

In 2006 at her "Un Regard 9" concert in Paris, Lara Fabian, the Belgian-Canadian singer, paid homage to Streisand's voice then sang the song live.

Popular culture[edit]

A parody of the song is briefly sung near the end of the film Austin Powers in Goldmember when Goldmember is shocked by his tractor beam device and sings "Fahza can you hear me".

The musical Spamalot features a song called "You Won't Succeed on Broadway (If You Don't Have Any Jews)" which refers greatly to Jewish influence on musicals. At a certain point during the song, the lead singer, Sir Robin calls out, "Arthur, can you hear me?!"

The song was referenced in the BBC comedy series Beautiful People in Episode 2 of the first series, "How I Got My Nose". A brief excerpt is sung by the character of Debbie Doonan, as played by Olivia Colman.

In the episode of The Simpsons "Sleeping with the Enemy", Bart overhears Nelson singing the song while Nelson is staying with the family, as an ode to Nelson's missing father.

In an episode of the show Will & Grace, Jack sings the song on separate occasions, as does Will in an earlier episode while visiting a therapist.

In the "Grilled Cheesus" episode of Glee, Rachel sings the song for Burt Hummel (who is in a coma) and his son Kurt. Rachel sings the song outside (a nod to Yentl in the film) and later beside Burt's hospital bed, together with Mercedes, Quinn, Finn, and Carol, while Kurt watches from outside the room, feeling emotional.

The instrumental version of the song is frequently used as background music in figure skating competitions.

The song is featured several times in Deadpool 2 where a running joke is made out of the title character Deadpool noticing (initially while watching the film Yentl with his girlfriend), the "obvious" similarities between it and the song "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" from the film Frozen. As he is dying towards the end of the film, Deadpool sings the song's chorus to his teammates.
