don't cry
Guns`n and 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 “Don't Cry” by Guns N' Roses convey a sense of compassion and empathy, as the lead vocalist, Axl Rose, tries to comfort his lover who is going through a tough time. He urges her not to cry and reminds her that he still loves her, and that there's a heaven above her. The lines, “Give me a whisper, and give me a sigh, give me a kiss before you tell me goodbye,” signify that he wants to be with her until the very end, but also acknowledges that she needs to make her own way.


The repeated phrase, “Don't you cry tonight,” conveys a sense of urgency, as if he is pleading with her not to break down. The lyrics also show that Axl knows what it feels like to go through a difficult time, as he says, “I know how you feel inside, I've been there before.” Therefore, the song is a message of hope and comfort, encouraging the listener to remain strong and suggesting that they will feel better in the morning.

Talk to me softly
Speak to me calmly and gently

I can see distress in your eyes


Don't hang your head in sorrow
Don't feel defeated and burdened by sorrow


And please don't cry
Please don't shed tears of sadness


I know how you feel inside I've
I understand your emotional pain, I've been there before


I've been there before
I have experienced similar emotional pain


Somethin's changin' inside you

Aren't you aware of these changes?

Give me a farewell kiss before you go


Tell me goodbye
Say goodbye to me

Don't be too hard on yourself

And the good moments we shared

How I felt emotionally, my dear


You gotta make it your own way
You must find your own path through life


But you'll be alright now, sugar
But you will be okay now, my dear


You'll feel better tomorrow
You will feel better tomorrow


Come the morning light now, baby
When morning comes, my dear


Don't you ever cry, cry, cry
Never shed tears again


Baby, maybe someday
Darling, perhaps in the future


Don't you cry
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
