Don't Cry Daddy

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
And 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 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
Oh, daddy, please don't cry

It,s soooo touching! Elvis sings this song in such a way that always makes me cry listening to it.his tender heart shows itself in this song.

The song is a bit too slobbery for my taste. But I like the fun version from the TTWII rehearsals where Elvis sings "...every time I cry I know I beat my little children so...."

i really like this song- elvis sings it so beautifully and i think the duet lisa marie did of this song with a recording of elvis was really tasteful and well done- when i watched and heard it for the first time it made me cry! it is a beautiful song and as mistymorning says, his tender heart really does come across...

Agreed, the duet is great.
