Today I stumbled from my bed
With thunder crashing in my head
My pillow still wet from last night's tears
And as I think of giving up
A voice inside my coffeee 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, somehow it just don't seem right
'Cos 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.
