"Don't Cry Daddy" in the style of Elvis Presley.

Written by Scott Davis.

LYRICS:
"Today I stumbled from my bed
with thunder crashing in my head
and my pillows 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 true, but somehow it just don't feel right.
'cause everytime I cry alone it hurts my
little children so and 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."

  • sorry to point this out... prob has been said but Elvis middle name is spelt Aaron, its my middle name. my mum loved him... i still listen to his music, nothing like him, never will be.....

  • @dingerdowding Actually, it depends on how you look at it. Legally, yes, Elvis's middle name was spelled "A-a-r-o-n". However, to commemorate his still-born twin brother (Jessie Garon Presley), Elvis shortened his middle name to "A-r-o-n", and that was how he always signed it, if he needed to include it.

  • @Pokechoppah93 Actually, its the other way around. It was originally Elvis Aron. That is how it is spelled on his birth certificate and Vernon and Gladys did that so that it would rhyme with Jesse Garon's name. Later in life, Elvis started using Aaron because it is the biblical spelling.

  • @jcliff5555 You are correct, and my above information is incorrect. However, upon deciding to change his name to Elvis Aaron Presley, he discovered that Aaron was actually the spelling of his middle name that does appear on his birth records. (Perhaps a mistake on the departments behalf?) On his tombstone (and birth certificate), it reads Elvis Aaron Presley. Yes, it was for Biblical reasons that he sought to "change" it. Thanks for clarifying, jcliff5555.

  • @Pokechoppah93 Actually thought I'd include this too, as I found it online as well. It appears that the reason his middle name was shortened to "A-r-o-n" was that the common people in Tupelo misspelled it a lot. I thought that was interesting.. Elvis is quoted in saying, "Well, back when I was growin' up, a lot of people in Tupelo didn't spell right," and "From now on, Daddy, I want my name written with two 'A's, especially on legal documents."

  • Okay...

    I loved the video...

  • @AmericanLad76 Thanks. It's not the best in the world, but it's a good song set to some pretty decent pictures of the only man in the world who ever rightly earned the title "King". Thanks for viewing!

  • Elvis was truly the king., was only 7 when he died but grew up with his music..

  • @dingerdowding it is also my sons middle name and its Aaron as you say not Aron, pronounced Aeron not Aron. if you know what I mean.x

  • I agree. Hearing this sing makes one wish he never passed. It's ine to well up the eyes for sure. Lisa Marie did a version of this using live Elvis footage as if they were doing a duet. That one'll hit ya too.
