==========================================
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 but
ringing in my ears
Don't cry daddy
Daddy, please don't cry
Oh Daddy, you've still
got me 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
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
Oh Daddy, you've still
got me 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
