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
