Momma gives birth to a little child,
|
Daddy waits, with a patient smile.
|
They tell him what he's brought into the world,
|
They all can tell she'll be a daddy's girl.
|
|
He hears a voice as she starts to cry,
|
He looks through the window tears fall from his eyes,
|
Overwhelmed with the thoughts of the day,
|
He swears he hears her say
|
|
Daddy can you see me?
|
Daddy can you hear the words I say?
|
I've got your hands
|
Your eyes and your hair
|
And this 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,
|
And 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,
|
And when I think that I'm going O.K.,
|
I look at him and say
|
|
Daddy can you see me?
|
Daddy can you 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 what 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 you hear the words I say?
|
My life has changed since you went away
|
And I need to know if I'm doing O.K.
|
I've done all I can to make you proud
|
Daddy can you see me now?
|
|
Oh I've done all I can to make you proud,
|
Daddy can you see me now?
