Please Daddy - Dwight Yoakam

I woke up this morning, the room felt empty and bare

As i turned to the closet, your clothes were not there

As i walked into the kitchen, i found our little girl with a note

As i read it to myself, the tears began to flow.

And she said.

Please daddy don’t cry that way

I know mommy left us, but that’s o.

k Please daddy don’t cry so hard

You don’t know how it scares me and i wish that you would stop

Please daddy don’t cry that way

'cause I’m right here beside you and i promise that I’ll stay

I looked down at her, through tear stained eyes

It’s as though you were there, in a tiny disguise

She clutches her pajamas with that soft little hand

See all this that is happening, she can’t quite understand

And she says…

Please daddy don’t cry that way

I know mommy left us, but that’s o.

k Please daddy don’t cry so hard

You don’t know how it scares me and i wish that you would stop

Please daddy don’t cry that way

'cause I’m right here beside you and i promise that I’ll stay

I’m searching my heart, and trying to explain

But the words that come out are swollen with pain

She looks through my eyes right down to my soul

Sees all the hurt that i can’t control

And she says

Please daddy don’t cry that way

I know mommy left us, but that’s o.

k Please daddy don’t cry so hard

You don’t know how it scares me and i wish that you would stop

Please daddy don’t cry that way

'cause I’m right here beside you and i promise that I’ll stay

Please daddy don’t cry that way

I’m right here beside you and I promise that I’ll stay
