Don't Cry Daddy


  d           
Today I stumbled from my bed
     f#
With thunder crashing in my head
    g
My pillow still wet 
                  d       c/d
From last night tears
    d           
And as I think of giving up
        f#
A voice inside my coffee-cup
     g
Kept crying but
                  c
And ringing in my ears
a         d
Don't cry daddy
                    em
Daddy, please don't cry
a      g                        a
Daddy, you've still got me and little Tommy
  d                         g
Together we'll find a brand new mommy
d           
Daddy, daddy, please laugh again

Oh, da-a-a-a-a-dy, 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
