[Verse 1] 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, ringing in my ears [Chorus] 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, daddy, please don't cry [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus]
