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''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.
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 luck 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

Don and Phil voices were a perfect harmonious match. They were simply the best!!

@thomasgarbe8354

no need to be the "best". This is Hollywood hype. Beware.
