Song: 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 little 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 doin' 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 doin' 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 doin' 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?
