Intro: 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 coffee-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 Ooh, daaaaddy, please don't cry Why are children always first To feel the pain and hurt the worst? It's cruel, somehow It just don't seem right 'Cause ev'ry time I cry I know It hurts my little children so And 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 Daddyride us on your back again Ooh, daaaaddy, please don't cry Ooh, daaaaddy, please don't cry
