Don't Cry Daddy [Original Version]

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, 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'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
Oh, daddy, please, don't cry
