Today I stumbled from my bed

With thunder crashing in my head

My pillow still wetFrom last night tears

And as I think of giving up

A voice inside my coffee cup kept crying out

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
