Don't Cry Daddy

(Steve Davis)

Conway & Kathy Twitty



Today I stumbled from my bed

With thunder crashing around my head

My pillow still wet From last nights tears

And as I think of giving up

A voice inside my coffee cup

Keeps crying out And ringing in my ears.



Don't cry daddy

Daddy, please don't cry

Daddy, you've still got me, Jimmy and Johnny

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 must children be the first

To feel the pain and hurt the worst

It's true somehow it don't seem right

And 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, Jimmy and Joni

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

Well daddy, please don't cry...
