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'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 talking
It's driving you mad

If I was standing by you
How would you feel?
Knowing your loves decided
And all love is real

Yeah baby
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 your 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




Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry tonight

Overall Meaning

The song "Don't Cry" by Guns 'N' Roses is about a person trying to comfort their loved one who is going through a tough time. The lyrics suggest that the person is going through a tough time because things are not going as planned, and it's driving them mad. The singer is trying to reassure their love that things will be alright as long as they hang on and not let the sadness consume them.


The singer and their love have been through some hard times together, and the singer has always been there to support them. The lines "I was the one who's washing blood off your hands" suggest that the singer has been there to help their love through dark times, perhaps even violent ones, and is willing to continue supporting them. The singer is reminding their love that they still care for them and that there is always hope, and they just need to hold on.


The chorus, "Don't you cry tonight, there's a heaven above you baby, and don't you cry tonight," is powerful in reminding the love that there is always a higher power looking after them, and things will get better. It is a song about love, hope and reassurance that things will be okay, and we just need to believe in ourselves.

DON'T CRY

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
An don't you cry tonight
An 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
Toniiight...

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
