Don't Cry Baby Lyrics

Dragged myself out of bed got the kids up and fed

Hurried out of the door school bus gone now for chores

Finished fast off the work home now dinner, desert

Homework stories and bed e-mail I haven't read

But later as I'm fast asleep I hear the pitter-patter of little feet

She woke up at 4am saying "Mom, I had a bad dream again"

And I said

Don't cry baby, your mama is standing by

Lord knows that I ain't perfect, but I try

Now don't cry baby we can make it if we try

I'll sit here and sing you a lullaby

Sometimes I stop and think when I feel on the brink

That this burdens' too much, I feel lost out of touch

I take a deep breath and sigh, Lift my head toward the sky

I whisper a silent prayer and know the strength will be there

But just as I get on my feet and

I think that life could really be sweet

She looks with eyes that couldn't pretend saying

"Mom, my heart is hurting again"

And I said

Don't cry baby, your mama is standing by

Lord knows that I ain't perfect, but I try

Now don't cry baby we can make it if we try

I'll sit here and sing you a lullaby
