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 out 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 every 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
