|
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 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, 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? |
|
Don't cry, daddy. |
|
Daddy, please, don't cry . |
|
Daddy, you 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. |
