Today I stumbled from my bed
With thunder crashing in my head
My pillow still wetFrom 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
