Today i stumbled from my bed thunder crashin' around my head
My pillow's still wet from last night tears
And as i think i was given up a voice inside my coffee cup
Keeps cryin' out ringing in my ears

Don't cry daddy daddy please don't cry
Daddy you still got me jimmy and johnny
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 must children be the first to feel the pain and hurt the worst
It's true somehow it don't seem right
And 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...
Oh daddy please don't cry
