Don't You Cry
David Coverdale · Into The Light
And you fell you can't go on
When it's all too much to bear
Call my name
If the sun refuse to shine
And you're all used up from trying
When you can't hold back the tears
I'll be there
So don't you cry, so don't you cry
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Forget about goodbyes
Oh baby, don't you cry
If you feel your love grow cold
When it chills your heart and soul
If you need a hand to hold
Think of me
And don't you cry, don't cry
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Forget about goodbyes
Oh baby, don't you cry
You're the reason I love
You're my heaven above
You're the reason I try
So dry the tears in your eyes
You're the reason I'm here
The reason I'm living for
So, if you're tired of holding on
And feel you can't go on
When it's all too much to bear
I'll be there
So don't you cry, so don't you cry
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Forget about goodbyes
Oh baby, don't you cry
Don't You Cry
David Coverdale's "Don't You Cry" serves as a poignant addition to his 1989 album "Into The Light," a period marked by his return to hard rock following his tenure with Deep Purple. The track exemplifies Coverdale's signature vocal style, blending soaring melodic lines with the gritty, blues-inflected edge characteristic of his solo work during the late 1980s. Recorded in the classic hard rock genre, the song reflects the introspective and sometimes melancholic themes often explored in Coverdale's discography, focusing on emotional resilience and the human condition. As part of the broader catalog of his solo career, the recording stands as a testament to his ability to craft anthemic tracks that resonate with listeners seeking the power and drama of traditional rock music.
