Recorded and released by Elvis in 1969 as a single.
Today I stumbled from my bed
With thunder crashing in my head
My pillow's still wet from last night's tears
And 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'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
Why are children always first
To feel the pain and hurt the worst?
It's cruel 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'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
Oh, daddy, please don't cry
