Cry, Cry Again Lyrics
Tammy Wynette
(Liz Anderson - D. Land)
I put my little girl to bed
With teardrops in her eyes
All day I've tried to comfort her
And louder were her cries.
I left her there to say her prayers
And stepped outside the door
The prayer I heard was one I knew
I'd never heard before.
Please have my mommy
Ask my daddy to come home
Sometimes I try and get my way
And mommy's so alone.
She told me once that when I'm right
I never should give in
So if at first I don't succeed
I'll cry, cry again.
I know our little girl is right
And we're both in the wrong
And so I've called you up tonight
To ask you please come home.
I can't go on or stand for long
The way she cries today
And I can't go to sleep tonight
Because I heard her pray.
Please have my mommy
Ask my daddy to come home
Sometimes I try and get my way
And mommy's so alone...
