Don’t Cry Daddy Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
"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"
[Verse 2]
Why are children always first
To feel the pain and hurt the worst
It's true, but somehow
It just don't seem right
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
[Chorus]
"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"
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
"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"
It hurts my little children so
I wonder
Will it be the same tonight
[Chorus]
"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"
