Today I stumbled from my bedWith thunder crashing in my headMy pillow still wetFrom last night's tearsAnd as I think of giving upA voice inside my coffee cupKept crying outRinging in my earsDon't cry, daddyDaddy, please don't cryDaddy, you've still got me and little TommyAnd together we'll find a brand new mommyDaddy, daddy, please laugh againDaddy, ride us on your back againOh, daddy, please, don't cryWhy are children always firstTo feel the pain and the hurt the worst?It's true but somehowIt just don't seem right'Cause every time I cry, I knowIt hurts my little children, so I wonderWill it be the same tonight?Don't cry, daddyDaddy, please don't cryDaddy, you've still got me and little TommyAnd together we'll find a brand new mommyDaddy, daddy, please laugh againDaddy, ride us on your back againOh, daddy, please, don't cryOh, daddy, please don't cry
