Rhythm of the Rain
Bobby Darin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again
The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again
Now rain please tell me does that seem fair
For her to steal my heart away when she don't care
I can't love another when my heart's
Somewhere far away
The only one I ever cared about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again
The lyrics of Bobby Darin's song "Rhythm of the Rain" contain a poignant story of heartbreak and loss.

As he listens to the rhythm of the falling rain, he feels it is telling him what a fool he has been for letting her go. He wishes the rain would stop so he can cry in vain and be alone again, realizing that he cannot love another when his heart is somewhere far away.

Raindrops can be seen as tears, signifying the tears of a broken heart, and the rain is a metaphor for the continuous flow of emotions that are hard to contain.
In conclusion, "Rhythm of the Rain" is an emotionally charged song that speaks of heartbreak, loss, and the unrelenting flow of emotions. The use of rain as a metaphor, along with the melancholic melody, offer a deeply evocative experience.

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
The sound of raindrops is reminding me of my heartache
Telling me just what a fool I've been
The rain is symbolizing my regret for my mistakes in losing my love
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
I want the rain to stop so I can cry without anyone knowing
And let me be alone again
I want to be left alone with my grief
The only girl I care about has gone away
The woman I love has left me
Looking for a brand new start
She wants to start over elsewhere
But little does she know that when she left that day
She doesn't realize the extent of the pain she's caused me by leaving
Along with her she took my heart
She has taken my love and left me heartbroken
Now rain please tell me does that seem fair
I'm asking the rain if it's just that she took my heart and left
For her to steal my heart away when she don't care
It's unfair that she took my love when she doesn't even care
I can't love another when my heart's somewhere far away
I can't move on and love someone else when my heart is still with her

One heck of a entertainer. A life cut way to soon. RIP Mr. Darin. Remember one thing he was one of the first Emmy winners, in the late 50s. When the emmys started.
