Guns N' Roses - Don't Cry Lyrics

Guns N' Roses Lyrics

"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
Something is changing inside you and don't you know?

Don't you cry tonight, I still love you, baby
And 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 thinking 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
Don't you cry tonight
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

Axl Rose and guitarist Izzy Stradlin wrote this song about a girl whom Stradlin split up with and whom Rose liked very much. The title was derived from the phrase "Don't cry, Bill" which she said to Rose when they realized that things wouldn't work out between them.

The working title was "Don't You Cry Tonight". The demo of this song was on a demo tape to Geffen Records in 1986.

There are three versions of this song: with the original lyrics on the album "Use Your Illusion I"; with the alternate lyrics on "Use Your Illusion II"; the single recorded during "Appetite for Destruction" sessions in 1986.

The backup on this track was sung by Shannon Hoon, the lead singer of Blind Melon. He also appears in the music video singing the chorus on the rooftop.

album: "Use Your Illusion I" (1991)
