You Will Cry No More
Lene Marlin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Life sure has its ways
To steal its perfect days
And leave you there with tears
With anger and the fears
Yet your fight has ended now
And you will cry no more

If we could change the past
We'd make some moments last
Those moments that were good
We'd change it if we could
To see your face again
Your smiles yes let's pretend




Yet your fight has ended now
And you will cry no more

Overall Meaning

In Lene Marlin's song "You Will Cry No More" the lyrics express the hardships and difficulties that life can bring. The first verse suggests that life can be unpredictable, often taking away the things that make it perfect, resulting in tears, anger, and fear. However, the chorus brings hope and peace by saying that the fight is over and that tears will no longer be shed. This may suggest a sense of acceptance and moving on from the difficult times.


The second verse suggests a desire to go back in time and change the past. This could be interpreted as a longing for a better outcome, anything to replace the bleak reality of the present. The lyrics suggest that the moments that were good are the ones they would change, which implies that the good times were infrequent and few, making the desire to hold onto them even stronger. The last line of the chorus reinforces the message that there will be no more crying, bringing a sense of finality and closure to the song.


Overall, "You Will Cry No More" is a powerful representation of facing adversity and coming out stronger on the other side. It speaks of the pain and sorrow of life but, in the end, delivers a hopeful message of moving on and finding peace.
