C#                A#m                 C# 
Momma gives birth to a little child  Daddy waits with a patient smile
      F#                           G#
They tell him what he's brought in-to the world
 F#                           G#
They all can tell she'll be Daddy's girl.
A#m       X           C#
Hears a voice as she start to cry
A#m                 X           D#m
Looks through the window, tears fall from his eyes
(D#m)                                 G#                         C#
Overwhelmed with the thoughts of the day he swears he hears her say

CHORUS:
              A#m                     C# 
Daddy can you see me?  Daddy can you hear the words I say?
F#                        G#
I've got your hands your eyes and your hair 
     (G#)         F#m                    A#m   
1.) And this    little thing you call a Teddy Bear
2.) And I still hold on to my           Teddy Bear
F#                     G#                                  C# 
I'll do what I can to make you proud Daddy can you see me now?

C#                           A#m
He takes me fishing like I'm one of the guys
C#
No one can break these ties that bind
F#                         G#
We've got a bond that's precious and dear
F#                                G#
And it's stayed the same through all theses years
A#m        X        C# 
As I get older and time goes by
A#m          X            D#m
He's got a shoulder if I need to cry
(D#m)                          G# 
When I think that I'm doing o. k.
(G#)               C#
I look to him and say

Go to chorus, bridge

BRIDGE:
F#                         G#
I look to the heavens for some kind of sign
    C#                  A#m     
For you to tell me that I'm doing fine
     F#                  G#      
And every night when I kneel down to pray
F#                                    A#
I wonder if you hear me (key change) say
               Cm                     D#
Daddy can you see me?  Daddy can you hear the words I say?
G#                        A#
My life has change  since you went away
       Cm                          B 
And I need to know if I'm doing o. k.
      G#                A#
