don't cry
GUNS N'ROSES Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If we could see tomorrow, what of your plans?
No one can live in sorrow, ask all your friends
Times that you took in stride, they're back in demand
I was the one who was washing blood off your hands

Don't you cry tonight
I still love you, baby
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you, baby
And don't you cry tonight

I know the things you wanted, they're not what you have
With all the people talking, it's driving you mad
If I was standing by you, how would you feel
Knowing your love's decided, and all love is real? (Yeah, baby)

And don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you, baby
And don't you cry tonight

I thought I could live in your world
As years all went by, with all the voices I've heard
Something has died
And when you're in need of someone, my heart won't deny you
So many seem so lonely with no one left to cry to, baby

And don't you cry tonight
And don't you cry tonight
And don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you, baby
And don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry tonight
Baby, maybe someday
Don't you cry
No, you never cry




Don't you cry
Tonight

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Guns N' Roses' song "Don't Cry" are a plea from the singer to a loved one to not give up or lose hope. The first verse acknowledges that the loved one is going through a difficult time ("there's something in your eyes") and implores them not to give in to despair ("don't hang your head in sorrow and please don't cry"). The singer assures the loved one that they understand their pain ("I know how you feel inside I've, I've been there before") and that something is changing within them, possibly implying that they will find a way to overcome their struggles.


The chorus offers words of comfort and reassurance, with the singer stating that they still love the loved one, urging them not to cry, and reminding them that there is a heaven above. The second verse is more personal, with the singer asking for a last kiss before saying goodbye and telling the loved one not to take it too hard or badly. Again, the singer emphasizes that they will still be thinking of the loved one and the times they had together.


The bridge offers more encouragement, with the singer reminding the loved one that they never lied and that they felt deeply for them. The singer acknowledges that the loved one needs to find their own way, but assures them that they will be alright and that they will feel better in the morning light.


In summary, "Don't Cry" is a song about love, loss, and perseverance. It is a reminder to hold on during tough times, that things will get better, and that there is always hope.

Talk to me softly
Speak to me gently and kindly


There's something in your eyes
I can tell by the look in your eyes that something is bothering you


Don't hang your head in sorrow
Don't feel defeated or ashamed


And please don't cry
Try not to shed tears


I know how you feel inside I've
I understand the emotions you're feeling because I've been in that same situation before


I've been there before
I've experienced similar emotions and struggles in the past


Somethin's changin' inside you
I can sense that some kind of transformation or change is happening within you

You may not realize or acknowledge it yet


Don't you cry tonight
Please don't let your tears fall tonight


I still love you, baby
My feelings of love for you have not changed, my dear


There's a heaven above you, baby
Keep in mind that there is a good, positive force in the universe looking out for you


Give me a whisper
Speak to me softly, confidentially


And give me a sigh
Let out a sound of relief or sadness


Give me a kiss before you
Share a loving, intimate moment with me before you go


Tell me goodbye
Say farewell to me


Don't you take it so hard now
Don't be so tough on yourself


And please don't take it so bad
Don't feel so terrible about it

You will still be on my mind


And the times we had, baby
The memories of our past experiences together


And please remember
Keep in mind


That I never lied
I have always been honest with you


Oh and please remember
Also, recall


How I felt inside now, honey
Remember my own feelings and emotions about our relationship, dear


You gotta make it your own way
You need to find your own path in life


But you'll be alright now, sugar
But I have faith in you that you will be okay, my love


You'll feel better tomorrow
You will start to feel better in the morning


Come the morning light now, baby
Once the morning arrives


Don't you ever cry, cry, cry
Don't let yourself cry, cry, cry


Baby, maybe someday
My dear, perhaps in the future


Don't you cry
Please don't cry


Tonight
This evening

If we could see tomorrow
What of your plans
No one can live in sorrow
Ask all your friends
Times that you took in stride they're
Back in demand
I was the one who's washing
Blood off your hands

Don't you cry tonight
I still love you baby
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight

I know the things you wanted
They're not what you have
With all the people talkin'
It's drivin' you mad
If I was standin' by you
How would you feel
Knowing your love's decided
And all love is real, baby

And don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight

I thought I could live in your world
As years all went by
With all the voices
I've heard
Something has died
And when you're in need of someone
My heart won't deny you
So many seem so lonely
With no one left to cry to baby

And don't you cry tonight
And don't you cry tonight
And don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry
Don't you cry tonight
Baby maybe someday
Don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry
Don't you cry tonight
