Artist: Elvis Presley Title: Don't Cry Daddy Composer: Mac Davis It was recorded by Elvis Presley on January 15, 1969 and released as a single. Some speculate that it is a consolation song considering that Elvis's father became a widower upon the death of his wife in 1958. The song reached #6 in the U.S. and #8 in the U.K. ==========================================
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
