Don't Cry
Embracing Farewell: Adam Again's Moving Message in 'Don't Cry'
Lyrics
Hey, lo
Expression of greeting or acknowledgment
It's time to go
Indication that it's time to depart
It's time to say, say goodbye
Acknowledging the need to bid farewell
Don't cry
An urging not to shed tears
It's wide and deep
Describing a vast and profound situation
And fast asleep
Reference to a state of tranquility or inactivity
And now we say, say goodbye
Reiteration of the need to say farewell
Don't cry
A repeated encouragement not to cry
And if you could go,
Expressing a hypothetical scenario where departure is possible
You would, I know
An assertion that the person would leave if they could
And if I could stay
A hypothetical scenario where the speaker could remain
Don't cry, hey
A plea not to cry, indicating a sense of acceptance or inevitability
And if you could go
Repetition of the desire for departure if it were possible
You would, I know
Reiteration of the acknowledgment that leaving is preferable
And if I could stay
Repetition of the hypothetical situation of staying
Don't cry
A plea not to cry, emphasizing emotional resilience
Don't cry
A repeated refrain, reinforcing the plea against crying
Don't cry
A final repetition of the plea not to cry
