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
