Don't Cry Daddy

Today I stumbled from my bed

With thunder crashing in my head

My pillow still wet

From last night tears

And as I think of giving up

A voice inside my coffee-cup

Kept crying but

And ringing in my ears

Don't cry daddy

Daddy, please don't cry

Daddy, you've still got me and little Tommy

Together we'll find a brand new mommy

Daddy, daddy, please laugh again

Daddy ride us on your back again

Oh, daddy, please don't cry

Why are children always first

To feel the pain and hurt the worst

It's true, but somehow

It just don't seem right

'Cause ev'ry time I cry I know

It hurts my little children so

I wonder will it be the same tonight

Don't cry daddy

Daddy, please don't cry

Daddy, you've still got me and little Tommy

Together we'll find a brand new mommy

Daddy, daddy, please laugh again

Daddy ride us on your back again

Oh, daddy, please don't cry

Oh, daddy, please don't cry
