G#m         C#m
Talk to me softly

There's something in your eyes
G#m              C#m
Don't hang your head in sorrow
F#                 B F#/A#
And please don't cry
G#m             C#m
I know how you feel inside, I've
F#                 B  F#/A#
I've been there before

F#              B F#/A# G#m
And don't you know

Chorus:
E          F#    G#m
Don't you cry tonight, I still love you baby

Don't you cry tonight, there's a heaven above you baby
E              F#    G#m
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 thinkin' of you
And the times we had baby

Chorus

C#m          F#

That I never lied
C#m          F#
And please remember
B      F#/A#  G#m
How I felt inside now, honey
C#m        F#
You gotta make it your own way
B    F#/A#      G#m
But you'll be alright now, sugar
C#m          F#
You'll feel better tomorrow
B         F#/A#   G#m       F#
Come the morning light now baby

Chorus:
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
