Ashley Gearing was only 12 years old when ‘Can You Hear Me When I Talk To You’ was released, making her the youngest artist to appear on the Billboard country music charts in the USA.
The song is written as a letter to the singer’s father who has passed away expressing how much she misses him.
Lyrics
Time passes by so quickly
But I guess I thought you’d be here forever
I never even had the chance
To say goodbye
There’s so many things to tell you
Left unsaid until now
But I guess I thought you’d be here forever
I never even had the chance
To say goodbye
There’s so many things to tell you
Left unsaid until now
Can you hear me when I talk to you
Do the words I say ever make it through
Can you hear me when I talk to you
Cause I’d give anything if I just knew
Do the words I say ever make it through
Can you hear me when I talk to you
Cause I’d give anything if I just knew
Every night I have the same dream
The one where you get to hug me
We laugh an’ talk until the morning
An’ then you vanish
It always leaves me feeling helpless
When I wake up an’ you’re not there
The one where you get to hug me
We laugh an’ talk until the morning
An’ then you vanish
It always leaves me feeling helpless
When I wake up an’ you’re not there
Can you hear me when I talk to you
Do you know how much I’d love to be with you
Do you know how much I’d love to be with you
Can you hear me when I talk to you
Cause I’d give anything if I just knew
Cause I’d give anything if I just knew
Living in this world without you
I constantly search through my mem’ries
Hoping that I find some treasures
That I passed over
All that I took for granted
Means so much now an’ I won’t let it go
I constantly search through my mem’ries
Hoping that I find some treasures
That I passed over
All that I took for granted
Means so much now an’ I won’t let it go
Can you hear me when I talk to you
Cause I never said some things that I meant to
Can you hear me when I talk to you
Cause I’d give anything if I just knew
Cause I never said some things that I meant to
Can you hear me when I talk to you
Cause I’d give anything if I just knew
You know I never said some things that I meant to
Can you hear me when I talk to you
Cause I’d give anything if I just knew
Can you hear me when I talk to you
Cause I’d give anything if I just knew
I miss you Daddy.
