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 been there before.
something is strange inside you,
and you don't know.
don't you cry tonight,
i still love you.
don't you cry tonight.
don't you cry tonight,
there's a heaven above you, baby.
don't you cry tonight.
give me a whisper,
and hear me 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,
don't you cry tonight,
don't you cry tonight.
don't you cry tonight,
there's a heaven above you baby.
don't you cry tonight.
and please remember
that I never lied.
and please remember
how I felt inside.
now honey, you've got to make it your own way,
but you'll be alright.
now sugar, you'll feel better tomorrow
coming home in light.
don't you cry tonight,
don't you cry tonight.
don't you cry tonight,
there's a heaven above you baby.
don't you cry, don't you ever cry,
don't you cry tonight.
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 been there before.
something is strange inside you,
and you don't know.
i still love you.
don't you cry tonight.
don't you cry tonight,
there's a heaven above you, baby.
don't you cry tonight.
and hear me 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.
don't you cry tonight,
don't you cry tonight.
don't you cry tonight,
there's a heaven above you baby.
don't you cry tonight.
that I never lied.
and please remember
how I felt inside.
now honey, you've got to make it your own way,
but you'll be alright.
now sugar, you'll feel better tomorrow
coming home in light.
don't you cry tonight.
don't you cry tonight,
there's a heaven above you baby.
don't you cry, don't you ever cry,
don't you cry tonight.

Anyone know who is doing vocals on this track?
Amazing that a Guns 'N Roses song can sound so different when taken on by a band like Mogwai. I love it :) I always wonder how some songs might sound if covered by someone in a totally different genre.
Aw. This song is lovely. The lyrics are straightforward yet beautiful.
