Don't Worry My Friend
dustbox Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Suddenly, you knocked on my door
And were standing still with a long face
Oh you seemed to be holding back something hard to say

It's so rare that you visit me all alone
You've never asked me for advice
How about a cup of coffee?
Just have a rest

What is troubling you?
I ask this question from my heart
What is troubling you?
if you don't want to say anything yet
Let's have a laugh instead

Don't worry, my friend!
I'll be always on your side
Don't worry, my friend!
Tonight I'll be With you all night long

I remember I always came to you
'Cause you were the reliable one
Oh That's why I thought that you were so amazing
You've been silent sines you got here
I'll just wait for you to start talking
It's OK I'm gonna spend my time with you tonight

What is troubling you?
I ask this question from my heart
What is troubling you?
If you don't want to say anything yet
Let's have a laugh instead

Don't worry, my friend!
I'll be always on your side
Don't worry, my friend!
Tonight I'll be with you all night long

When I was down and didn't know what I should do
You took me out to where I could see the ocean
And you made me laugh, just horsing around
With our friends on a sandy beach
Now It's my turn

What is troubling you?
I ask this question from my heart
What is troubling you?
I don't want to see you leave here with a frown on your face
Oh my friend... please open your heart

Don't worry, my friend!
I'll be always on your side
Don't worry, my friend!
Tonight I'll be with you all night long





Don't worry
'Cause I'm on your side
