Crying In The Rain
Art Garfunkel With James Taylor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The way my broken heart is hurting me
I've got my pride and I know how to hide
All the sorrow and pain
I′ll do my crying in the rain
If I wait for cloudy skies
You won't know the rain from the tears in my eyes
You'll never know that I still love you so
I′ll do my crying in the rain
Raindrops falling from heaven
They could never wash away my memories
Since we′re not together
I look for stormy weather
To hide these tears I hope you'll never see
Someday when my crying′s done
I'm going to wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool, but till then darling you′ll
Never see me complaining
I'll do my crying in the rain
Since we′re not together
I look for stormy weather
To hide these tears I hope you'll never see
Someday when my crying's done
I′m going to wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool but till then darling you′ll
Never see me complaining
I'll do my crying in the rain
I′ll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I know where to hide my eyes
Crying, crying, crying
I′ll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain

Oh my goodness! I love this!
James, I met you in 1967 at McCormick Place in Chicago. I interrupted your dinner with your band. I apologize profusely. I was a silly 21-year-old, so excited to meet you, and you were such a gentleman! I still have the autograph you gave me. I treasure it. I keep it inside the book you wrote. . .your autobiography.
About 23 years later I met Phil and Don Everly in Nashville, Indiana. I had been their fan since I was 13-years-old. They were very nice too. I was crushed when Phil died. He had talked to me a long time after their concert.
Yes, I’ve had a charmed life.
Thank you both for singing this amazingly beautiful, harmonic song. I’ll share it. ❤️

Are you sure it was 1967 you met James Taylor? He didn’t become famous until 1970 so would you have known who he was in 1967?
@onefoot7
So, he was 18-19 years old and didn't even meet Peter Asher yet????, why would you care
@cherixbiggs5819
Nobody can sing like Artie!!! He can tear my heart out with his high harmony. ❤️❤️
@SN2903
Beautiful. Art is the best singer I've ever heard.

Where has this piece been hiding? We weren’t ready before, but It was meant for a time as this. It was meant for healing. Thanks for sharing this, James, rather than let it slip away. Music and time are great healers.
@victoriasinatra
Y'all are wonderful. I love you both because of your voices, talent and music. God Bless you both. Seriously.
@mariajocho
I'll do my crying in the rain, too. Such a beautiful song that makes me cry for all the 11S victims. Never forget them. RIP. Best regards from Spain, James.

Who could have known how apt this shot and blocking would become, seeing that it's this song. Absolutely lovely. Almosy haunting
