Daddy Can You See Me (album Version) - Anita Cochran

Momma gives birth

to a little child

Daddy waits with

a patient smile

They tell him what hes

brought into the world

They all can tell

shell be a daddys 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

Ive got your hands

Your eyes and your hair

And this thing you

call a teddy bear

Ill do what I can

to make you proud

Daddy can you see me now

He takes me fishing

like Im one of the guys

No one can break

these ties that bind

Weve got a bond

thats precious and dear

And its stayed the same

through all these years

As I get older and time goes by

Hes got a shoulder if I need to cry

And when I think that Im going ok

I look at him and say

Daddy can you see me

Daddy can you hear

the words I say

Ive got your hands

Your eyes and your hair

And I still hold on to my teddy bear

Ill 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 Im 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 Im doing ok

Ive done all I can

to make you proud

Daddy can you see me now

Oh Ive done all I can

to make you proud

Daddy can you see me now
