Cry
David Cassidy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Will there come a day you and I can say
We can finally see each other?
Will there come a time we can find the time
To reach out for one another?

We've been travelin' in circles such a long, long time
Tryin' to say hello, hello!
And we can just let it ride, but you're someone that I'd
Like to get to know

[Chorus:]
I'll meet you halfway, that's better than no way
There must be some way to get it together
And if there's some way, I know that some day
We just might work it out forever

Will there come a day (Will there come a day)
You and I can say (You and I can say)
We can finally see each other?
Will there come a time (Will there come a time)
We can find the time (We can find the time)
To reach out for one another?

I'll meet you halfway, that's better than no way
I'll meet you halfway, that's better than no way





[Repeat and fade]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to David Cassidy's song "Cry" explore the idea of two people who have been distant for a long time, and the hope that they can reconnect in the future. The song speaks about the desire for both parties to finally see each other, to find the time to reach out to one another, and to get to know each other better. The repetition of the phrases "will there come a day" and "will there come a time" highlights the uncertainty and hesitation in both individuals, as they question whether or not they will ever be able to come together.


The chorus, which emphasizes the singer's willingness to meet the other person halfway, serves as the crux of the song's message. The repetition of the phrase "I'll meet you halfway, that's better than no way" emphasizes the importance of any effort towards reconciliation, even if it is not a complete solution. The use of the phrase "some way" also implies that there is no clear or guaranteed path towards resolving their differences, but that any effort towards communication is better than none at all.
