Don't Cry
The Box Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yesterday
I've never seen you shed a tear before
It broke my heart
It drove me crazy, I lost my head
I didn't have a clue what to say or what to do
All I wanted was to hold you up against me
()
Don't cry, baby, don't cry
It's alright, babe, it's alright now
Don't cry, baby, don't cry
We've got eyes to see
And all I want to do is shed on the light
Don't say you're sorry
Don't ever think we've lost each other
There's no need to worry
'Cause our love is true
We've got time, we've got each other
We shouldn't always know what to say, what to do
All we are is all we ever needed
Just you and me
()
Don't cry, baby, don't cry
It's alright, babe, it's alright now
Don't cry, baby, don't cry
We've got eyes to see
And all I want to do is shed on the light
I heard you crying through the bedroom door
Yesterday
I've never seen you shed a tear before
It broke my heart
It drove me crazy, I lost my head
I didn't have a clue what to say or what to do
All I wanted was to hold you up against me
For all of the night

Don't cry, baby, don't cry
It's alright, babe, it's alright now
Don't cry, baby, don't cry
Can't you see we have never meant to hurt each other
Don't cry, baby, don't cry
Don't you worry about a thing, we'll be doing just fine now
Don't cry, baby, don't cry
We've got eyes to see
Don't cry, baby, don't cry
It's alright, babe, it's alright now
Don't cry, baby, don't cry
We've got eyes to see
And all I want to do is shed on the light
The Box's song Don't Cry talks about a relationship facing a difficult time when one partner starts crying for the first time. The other partner is surprised and overwhelmed by the situation and doesn't know how to react. The lyrics express the desire to offer comfort and support, to hold the partner tight, and to reassure that everything will be okay. The song encourages the partner not to cry or worry, as they have each other and their love is true. There's no need to apologize or feel sorry, but to focus on the positive and move forward together. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the partners seeing the light and promising to be okay.
The chorus of the song, "Don't cry, baby, don't cry/ It's alright, babe, it's alright now/ We've got eyes to see/ And all I want to do is shed on the light", conveys the message of love, support, and understanding. It emphasizes that they can overcome any difficulty as long as they have each other to lean on.
