Heavens Gates ~Don't Cry Daddy~ Elvis & Lisa Marie Presley

Elvis and Lisa Marie Presley

(words & music by scott davis)

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 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

In 1997, at the tribute concert
marking the 20th anniversary of
Elvis' death, Lisa roused the crowd
by presenting a duet video of herself
singing, "Don't Cry Daddy" with her father.
David Foster produced Lisa's performance
and new instrumentation to compliment
Elvis' original vocal.
The result was stunning.
