I sing a lot with my friend Brenda Briggs, and this ballad was written by my husband Terry and writing partner Bruce Brososky especially for us to sing together.

Lyrics
SOLDIERS DAUGHTERS NEVER CRY
Terry Taylor/Bruce Brososky
SHE SAID I NEED TO TALK TO YOU ALONE
TELL YOUR FRIEND YOU’VE GOT TO HANG UP THE PHONE
IT’S GONNA BE JUST THE TWO OF US, FROM NOW ON
DADDY WON’T BE COMING HOME
SOMETIMES A MAN MUST FACE A DUTY HE CAN’T SHIRK
IF THERE’S FIGHTING TO BE DONE, HE’D SAY THAT’S A MAN’S WORK
EVEN IF WE CAN’T SAVE THE WORLD, WE’VE GOT TO TRY
AND SOLDIERS DAUGHTERS NEVER CRY
KEEP ON WORKING FOR WHAT’S GOOD AND RIGHT
KEEP ON BELIEVING, KEEP ON SHINING YOUR LIGHT
SOLDIERS DAUGHTERS NEVER CRY IN PLAIN SIGHT
BUT SOMETIMES THEY CRY AT NIGHT
TRY TO REMEMBER WHAT HE SAID TO US
THAT DAY WE WALKED HIM DOWN THE STREET TO THE BUS
DON’T BE AFRAID MY DARLINGS, YOU’VE JUST GOT TO TRUST
IN WHAT GOD HAS PLANNED FOR US
KEEP ON WORKING FOR WHAT’S GOOD AND RIGHT
KEEP ON BELIEVING, KEEP ON SHINING YOUR LIGHT
SOLDIERS DAUGHTERS NEVER CRY IN PLAIN SIGHT
BUT SOMETIMES THEY CRY AT NIGHT
