Dont Cry Daddy

爹,不要哭

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 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 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 .
Daddy, you 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.
