Elvis Presley - Don't Cry Daddy Lyrics

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 ev'ry 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
