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 out and 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 dad-dy 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 Repeat #2 Oh dad-dy please don't cry
