T oday I stumbled from my bed
With t hunder crashing in my head
My p illow still wet
From last night t ears
And a s I think of giving up
A v oice inside my coffee-cup
Kept c rying out
And ringing in my e ars
Don't cry d addy
Daddy, please don't c ry
Daddy, y ou've still got me and l ittle Tommy
Tog ether we'll find a b rand new mommy
D addy, daddy, please laugh again
D addy ride us on your back again
Oh, d ad - - - d y, pl ease don't cr y
(Instrumental)
W hy are children always first
To f eel the pain and hurt the worst
It's t rue, but somehow
It just don't seem r ight
'Cause e v'ry time I cry I know
It h urts my little children so
I w onder will it be the same ton ight
Don't cry d addy
Daddy, please don't c ry
Daddy, y ou've still got me and l ittle Tommy
Tog ether we'll find a b rand new mommy
D addy, daddy, please laugh again
D addy ride us on your back again
Oh, d ad - - - d y, pl ease don't cr y
Oh, d ad - - - d y, pl ease don't cr y
