Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't let your love go astray, save it for me
Don't give your sweet kiss away, save it for me
I know you're feelin' blue
'Cause I feel blue like you
I'll be strong as long as you are and wait just as long as you
Don't waste that look I adore, save it for me
I know that you must cry
Cry baby, so do I
Just sit tight and leave on your light
'Cause I'm comin' home to your arms
Oh baby, I'm comin' home to your arms
Ah, save it for me
Ah, save it for me
I know that you must cry
Cry baby, so do I
I'll be strong as you are
And wait just as long as you
Save it for me
Save it for me
Oh, ah
Save it for me
Oh, ah
Save it for me
Oh, ahh
Save it for me
Oh, ah
In Daniel Reichard & The Four Seasons's song "Cry for Me," the singer is pleading with his lover to wait for him and save her love and affection for him. He asks her not to give her love away or waste her looks on anyone else while he is away, as he knows that she feels just as blue and alone as he does. However, he promises to be strong and wait just as long as she does, assuring her that he will soon be returning to her arms.
The lyrics convey a sense of longing and desperation, as the singer is separated from his lover and unable to be with her in the moment. However, they also suggest a deep and enduring love between the two, as the singer is willing to wait and endure the pain of separation in order to be reunited with his beloved. The use of simple, straightforward language and repetitive phrases reinforces the sincerity and urgency of the singer's message.
One interesting fact about the song is that it was originally written and recorded by Bob Gaudio, a member of The Four Seasons, in 1963. The song was later included on The Four Seasons' album "New Gold Hits" in 1967. The song has been covered by several other artists over the years, including The Beach Boys and Diana Ross & The Supremes. Another interesting fact is that the song was used in the Broadway musical "Jersey Boys," which follows the story of The Four Seasons and features many of their hit songs. The song's simple but effective composition and catchy melody have made it a popular choice for covers and adaptations.

I love him. He put so much power into the song, even on stage as Bob Gaudio - something other actors don't do.
