Don't Cry Lyrics
There is 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

#1 top rated interpretation:As someone who's lost a beloved, I interpret this song as a bittersweet comfort song for someone who's grieving. I really love (and hate) the line "you gotta make it your own way, but you'll be alright now, sugar// you'll feel better tomorrow..."
and of course, that heaven is above her, because he (the one who's past over) is up there, watching over her as her guardian angel :)
I believe he is singing from the grave, and the one who's grieving is in so much pain that they might be suffering a severe depression. Again, I see it that way because I know someone who still grieves (very tragically) for their lost partner after 3 years.
I read another interpretation that it might be about the aftermath of cheating in a relationship. I can half see it, and half not see it. It's all about someone else's interpretation, right? :)
Hope you (whoever is reading this) has a good day, and if it's really tough right now, or it's been tough for a long while now, I hope the sun will rise again for you.

Its about a girl that REALLY likes someone BIG time. He cant & wont
Be with her but he is telling her he cares about her and she matters but she has to go on on her own GREAT song !!! -
Definitely makes me think of a friend I recently lost in a tragic car accident. The words are so reflective of what I think he would say to me from up above. We went to a GNR concert together and it was a blast! Rest In Peace my beautiful friend!

Axl and Izzy fell for the same girl, the girl wouldn't make a choice between them and told Axl while sitting on a park bench "Don't Cry, Bill"

It's about Axl's gf...I think anyways...
