Interesting facts and trivia about Don't Cry. By Songfacts®.

This is a song of passionate devotion and commitment. In a 1983 radio interview, keyboardist Geoff Downes said, "'Don't Cry' was the last song we wrote for the album. We actually wrote it in a bit of a hurry, because we felt we didn't have the right track to kick the album off with. I had an idea, John [Wetton] had another idea, and we cemented them together."

Vocalist John Wetton has recorded a solo acoustic guitar version of this song. It appears on his 1996 album Akustika: Live in Amerika.

The B-side, "Daylight", did not appear on the Alpha LP, but did appear on a special "6x12" cassette, and on the CD.
