Anita Cochran Lyrics
"Daddy Can You See Me"

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 okay
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 okay
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?...
