Today I stumbled from my bed
With thunder crashing in my head,
My pillow still wet
From last night's tears
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
And 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 the 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:x2]
Oh, daddy, please don't cry
