don't cry

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Talk to me softly
There's something in your eyes
Don't hang your head in sorrow
And please don't cry
I know how you feel inside I've
I've been there before
Somethin's changin' inside you
And don't you know

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

Give me a whisper
And give me a sigh
Give me a kiss before you
Tell me goodbye
Don't you take it so hard now
And please don't take it so bad
I'll still be thinkin' of you
And the times we had, 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

And please remember
That I never lied
And please remember
How I felt inside now honey
You gotta make it your own way
But you'll be alright now sugar
You'll feel better tomorrow
Come the morning light now 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
Don't you ever cry




Don't you cry
Tonight

Overall Meaning

The song "Don't Cry" by Guns 'N' Roses, from their album Use Your Illusion 1, is an emotional ballad that seeks to console a loved one who is going through a difficult time. The opening lines urge the person to share their feelings softly as there is an intensity in their eyes. The singer emphasizes that they understand the emotion of the person they are addressing and have experienced it themselves. The verse goes on to suggest that the person is going through a change, but it is not clear what this is.


As the chorus comes, the singer urges the person not to cry, assuring them that they are still loved, and there is a heaven above. The reference to a higher power emphasizes the idea that things will eventually get better. The second verse begins with a request for a kiss, and the acknowledgment that the decision the person is making is difficult. It is clear, however, that despite the goodbye, the singer will continue to think of the person and the times they shared together.


Finally, the bridge celebrates the honesty of their relationship and assures the person that they will come out of this difficult period stronger. The song's overall message is that even though things may seem tough, they will eventually improve, and it is important to hold on to hope.

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
