Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Oh 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, cry, cry
Don't you cry tonight
Baby, maybe someday
Don't you cry
Don't you ever cry, cry cry
Don't you cry
Tonight
"Don't Cry" by Guns 'n Roses is a song that empathizes with a lover who is going through a difficult time. The first verse of the song encourages the person to be expressive, to talk about what's going on or what they feel, rather than holding it in and crying in sorrow. The second verse, on the other hand, is more about bidding goodbye to the past and acknowledging that life goes on, and eventually the person will feel better. The chorus 'Don't you cry tonight' is a reassurance to the lover that they are still loved and that there is always hope in the future.
Overall, the song has a strong emotional tone with a hint that the relationship may have ended, but there is still love and hope. The singer encourages his love to be strong, to not take it so hard, and to know that there is a heaven above them that watches over them.
