Walking In The Rain
Barry White Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bye, see you in the morning, okay, girl
Oh, tell Deedee, don't be late
Okay, oh, it's started to rain, it sure is, ha, ha
Everyone's trying to get out the rain
Oh, it feels so good, the rain and thinking of you
Soon as I get home, I'm gonna call you
And tell you, how much I love you, oh, I feel so good
Oh, I'm just walking in the rain with the one I love
Feel so fine
Walking in the rain with the one I love
On my mind
To each is own I've heard him say
Him say
Well, I got mine in so many ways
Yeah, like being together
Whether near or far, it doesn't matter where you are
So in love with each other
Giving love so warm and free made our dream a reality
Then it'll last forever and ever
With every step we take and every breath we make
Darling, just you and me
Oh, I'm just walking in the rain with the one I love
Feel so fine
Walking in the rain with the one I love
On my mind
So in love with each other
With every passing day we share the fact of knowing someone
Just being together making love so tenderly
Exploding into ecstasy
Then it'll last forever and ever
Together we hold the key
To make forever our destiny
Oh, I'm just walking in the rain with the one I love
Feel so fine
Walking in the rain with the one I love
On my mind
I'm gonna call him right now
Gee, I hope he's home
Hello
Baby, I'm home, I've got something to tell you
What?
I love you
Oh, I love you too
Did you get caught in the rain?
Oh, yes
It was so beautiful
Let me tell you how it started
Walking in the rain with the one I love
The song "Walking in the Rain with the One I Love", written by Barry White, portrays a couple's deep love for each other while they are separated by distance. The lyrics are a dialogue between the two lovers, who plan to meet again tomorrow, and the rain that comes down during the walk. Despite the bad weather, they feel fine because they are thinking about each other. It is a song about how love can overcome any obstacle and make us feel happy even in the face of adversity.
The first verse shows a conversation between the two lovers, who separate after agreeing to meet the next day. The line "Everyone's trying to get out the rain" evokes a sense of discomfort and unease, which is quickly dispelled by the joy of thinking about the person we love. The song implies that true love brings comfort, no matter what the external circumstances are. The chorus echoes this sentiment by saying "Walking in the rain with the one I love, feel so fine". The two lovers are protected by their love for each other, even though they are exposed to the elements.
The second verse contains some more general thoughts about love. It states that "to each his own", meaning that people express their love in different ways, and that's okay. However, the singer is grateful to have found his own way with his partner. The lines "whether near or far, it doesn't matter where you are, so in love with each other" exemplify how distance is no barrier to love. They feel connected to each other despite being physically apart. The final lines, "together we hold the key to make forever our destiny", suggest that their love is strong enough to overcome anything.
