Don't Cry (Alternate Lyrics)
Guns N' Roses · Use Your Illusion II
What of your plans
No one can live in sorrow
Ask all your friends
Times that you took in stride
They're back in demand
I was the one who's washing
Blood off your hands
Don't you cry tonight
I still love you baby
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight
I know the things you wanted
They're not what you have
With all the people talkin'
It's drivin' you mad
If I was standin' by you
How would you feel
Knowing your love's decided
And all love is real
An 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
I thought I could live in your world
As years all went by
With all the voices I've heard
Something has died
And when you're in need of someone
My heart won't deny you
So many seem so lonely
With no one left to cry to baby
An don't you cry tonight
An don't you cry tonight
An 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
Don't Cry (Alternate Lyrics)
This alternate version of 'Don't Cry' by Guns N' Roses appears on the 1991 album 'Use Your Illusion II,' released during a period of intense legal and personal turmoil for the band. The track features a stripped-down acoustic arrangement that contrasts with the band's signature hard rock sound, focusing on themes of heartbreak and emotional vulnerability. While the original recording from 'Use Your Illusion I' is widely known, this rendition offers a different musical perspective on the same song, highlighting the band's versatility and the raw emotional core of their songwriting. The recording reflects the band's evolution in the early 1990s, blending melodic sensibilities with their characteristic intensity.
