Don't Cry Daddy
by Elvis Presley



Today I stumbled from my bed
With thunder crashing in my head
My pillow still wet from last nights tears
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 still got me and little Tommy
Together we'll find a brand new Mommie
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 cruel, somehow it just don't seem right
'Cause everytime I cry I know
It hurts my little children so
And I wonder, will it be the same tonight...



Don't cry daddy
Daddy, please don't cry
Daddy, you still got me and little Tommy
Together we'll find a brand new Mommie
Daddy, daddy please laugh again
Daddy ride us on your back again
Oh, daddy please don't cry
Oh, daddy please don't cry...
