Crying in the Rain
Everly Brothers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll never let you see
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 though the heartaches remain
I'll do my crying in the rain

Raindrops falling from heaven
Will never wash away my misery
But since we're not together
I'll wait for stormy weather
To hide these tears I hope you'll never see

Someday when my crying's done
I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool
But till then, darling, you'll never see me complain
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'll do my crying in the rain

I can hardly see the screen, I am welling up so much. This is truly a sad day for music.

The Everlys came from an era when three minutes was all that was needed to get the message across. And they sure got the messages across, in the most melodious, refined and direct way.

When their two heads came together behind the microphone, something very special happened. Their music always touched my heart.

Rock solid musicians, from a rock solid musical background.

Gutted. Totally gutted.

RIP Phil, and thank you so very much.

Crying in the rain - Everly Brothers (lyrics)

I'll never let you see
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
Though the heartaches remain
I'll do my crying in the rain

Raindrops falling from heaven
Could never wash away my misery
But since we're not together
I'll wait for stormy weather
To hide these tears I hope you'll never see

Someday when my crying's done
I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool
But till then, darling, you'll never see me complain
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'll do my crying in the rain

Lyrics

I'll never let you see
The way my broken heart is hurting me
I've got my pride and I know how to hide
All my 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
Though the heartaches remain

I'll do my crying in the rain

Raindrop falling from heaven
Could never wash away my misery
But 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 gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool but till then darling
You'll never see me complain

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 was a budding teenager when the Everley Brothers were turning out their songs and I grooved along. I am 83 today and still enjoy their songs and unique duo singing! All I have are memories!

@melle bos I caught their resurgence in 1984 and could not agree with you more! Absolute voices like angels, and genuine rock 'n roll royalty!

Amazing how they still retained that pure teen sound after all those years. Nothing like a sweet duet that keeps the harmony so rich.
