Today I stumbled from my bed
with thunder crashing in my head
my pillow still wet
from last nights te-ars.
And as I think of giving up
a voice inside my coffee cup
kept crying out
and ringing in my ears;
Don't Cr-y 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 da-ad-dy 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.
Oh da-ad-dy, please don't cry.
