I thought although 'don't you' is a negative form, it means almost same as positive one.
For example, when someone says, "don't you see?" or "don't you remember?", then I can assume they are saying "do you see" or "do you remember".
Because I'm not native, sometimes I find it difficult to understand 'don't ~' form, so I usually interpret 'don't' as 'do'.
But still I'm not sure of the followings..

So can we finish what we started
Don't you leave me brokenhearted tonight
