don't cry
Asia (2) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hard times you had before you
I knew when I first saw you
You girl you've always been mistreated, cheated

So leave it all behind you
It took so long to find you
I know that we can last forever
Ever and more, more, oh

Don't cry now that I've found you
Don't cry take a look around you
Don't cry it took so long to find you
Do what you want,
But little darlin', please don't cry

I knew I'd never doubt it
I was so sure about it
Don't think all that's been before

I'll hear you when you're calling
I'll catch you when you're falling
Don't worry I will always be there
Like never before, or, oh

Don't cry now that I've found you
Don't cry take a look around you
Don't cry it took so long to find you
Do what you want,
But little darlin', please don't cry

Don't cry now that I've found you
Don't cry take a look around you
Don't cry it took so long to find you
Do what you want,
But little darlin', please don't cry

Don't cry now that I've found you
Don't cry take a look around you
Don't cry it took so long to find you
Do what you want,
But little darlin', please don't cry

Hard times you had before you
I knew when I first saw you
You girl you've always been mistreated, cheated

So leave it all behind 
It took so long to find you
I know that we can last forever, ever and more, more, oh

Don't Cry now that I've found you
Don't Cry now took a look around you
Don't Cry it took so long to find you
Do what you want, but a little darling please Don't Cry

I knew I'd never doubt it

Don't think of all that's been before 

I'll hear you when you're calling
I'll catch you when you're falling
Don't worry I will always be there, like never before, or, oh

I am Japanese. I suddenly remembered this song and came here.
I miss it very much.
I grew up listening to western music even though I don't speak English. Just like there are people all over the world who like city pop music even if they don't understand Japanese. Music is wonderful.
(Sorry for my weird English).

remember when album covers were works of art, like this one?

JuPMod

Yeah, I remember them. The covers were works of art. This one is very lovely, showing a futurist Egyptian city with a Osprey diving to catch a fish in the river. Love it. :)

Phly Weekly

I don’t remember this, because I’m 15, but I much prefer the music and album covers of the 80’s over the one’s of today.

ESSER

I remember cracking the album open smelling the vinal right before you ever so carefully pulled the album out grasping the center hole and using your thumb as to not touch the album in anyway as you position it on the pin, balancing it as you raised the arm to hold it in position as you hit release as it dropped on the turn table as the needle is raised and dropped hitting every crevice until the music hits the speakers. The moment of anticipation was breathless.

@Cameron Lee its not racist because the group is named after the Continent and most likely Asian people and culture!
