Don't Cry Daddy Lyrics
Awesome song, cant believe no one has commented.. the elvis fans are dying out... shit thats scary, the bloke needs more recognition on this world... quick QUICK!! some one mix another one of his songs so people my age can go .. 'hey!, elvis, is like soooo friggin coool"...... pft
An incredibly emotional song about a husband and his two children coping with the fact that his wife and thier mother is dead. He is especially taking it very hard and trying to be strong for his children but still finds himself with a, "pillow still wet From last night's tears" His Children see his sadness and seem to be the stronger onnes or just afraid that they might lose their farther too, "And 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"
They miss their mom, but are now afraid of losing their dad too.
I wonder if Elvis chose to sing this song because his own mother died?
I get this feeling in my heart whenever I listen to this song. I can't describe it well, but whenever I feel a deep emotion for a song, it feels as if my heart as sunk.
This is a beautiful, beautiful song sung by a beautiful beautiful singer. Elvis Presley, you put feeling into every song you sing and this is no exception. Dear Elvis: You will be remembered for eternity. I listen to this song, and not once has it been with a dry eye. I love every song you have ever sung, and darling... i can't help falling in love with you

this makes me really cry the first time i heard of it.
I'm listening to it right now and jeez. It's damn depressing.
I can relate to what Elvis is saying as I lost my other a few months ago. During that time my father became really depressed, I would hear him cry every night alone. My younger brother who is 4 would ask me every when is mommy coming back. Now that hurts.
recently my father seems to have improved but I stil hear him cry occasionally
Hi, my name is Pat Burton, female, age 59. This song came out on 45rpm Jan. 15, 1969. Originally wrote by Scott Davis aka singer Mac Davis. At the time it came out, my mom was divorcing my Daddy for someone else that could keep her in the lifestyle she grew up in, more than my Daddy could afford with 4 kids, that is. I remember Daddy taking me to a restaurant where they had these mini jukeboxes at each table for your own individual music.....used to bug my Daddy to death for nickels to play music while waiting for the food. This song came on out of nowhere today on internet radio 96.5 JACK FM, I was blown away back to 1969 again, & I cried. So, here's the scoop, just found some more info. on it through Wikipedia for anyone that's interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_Cry_Daddy
