Cry, Cry Again

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

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
