I remember when I was about 3 years old
my dad was a pretty big Elvis fan and one night with the lights off
I asked if he would play this song over and over again
and each time I would cry in my pillow when the song played because I loved my dad so much.
I made sure he wouldn't see me because I'd be embarassed. Heh heh.
Here it is.
One of Elvis' best
(I loved my mom the same of course. Just no song to cry to.
What a goof I am.)
Don't Cry DaddyToday 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 but
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
