Crying in the Rain
The 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
Could never wash away my misery
But since we're not together
I'll 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

Overall Meaning

The song "Crying in the Rain" by The Everly Brothers talks about the heartbreak that comes after a separation. The singer expresses that they will not show their broken heart to their former lover, and instead, they will cry in the rain, where nobody can see them. They maintain their pride and hide their sorrow, which they have learned to do well. They don't want their ex-lover to see that they are still in love with them despite the heartaches they are going through.


The song's lyrics use the metaphor of rain to describe the singer's tears and sadness. The rain represents a place where the singer can hide their tears, and nobody can tell whether it's tears or raindrops falling. The lyrics also express the hope that someday the singer will stop crying and find joy again. The last lines of the song reflect that the singer will keep their pain to themselves and not complain about it to anyone, so their former lovers will never know the depth of their emotions.


Overall, "Crying in the Rain" is a melancholic and introspective song that shows the struggle of heartbreak and the power of hiding one's pain from the world.


Line by Line Meaning

I'll never let you see
I won't show you how much I'm hurting


The way my broken heart is hurting me
I am in emotional pain because of you


I've got my pride and I know how to hide
I have self-respect and I can keep my feelings to myself


All the sorrow and pain
I am experiencing great emotional distress


I'll do my crying in the rain
I will express my sadness and tears alone


If I wait for cloudy skies
If I wait for things to get worse


You won't know the rain from the tears in my eyes
You won't be able to tell that I am crying


You'll never know that I still love you
You'll remain unaware of my continued affection for you


So though the heartaches remain
Despite the pain I experience


I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll cry alone, where no one can see me


Raindrops falling from heaven
Rainfall from the sky


Could never wash away my misery
No amount of rain can cure my sadness


But since we're not together
Since we are no longer together


I'll look for stormy weather
I'll seek out a harsher climate


To hide these tears I hope you'll never see
To conceal my tears from you


Someday when my crying's done
One day, when I've cried enough


I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I will put on a happy face and enjoy life


I may be a fool
I may be naive


But till then, darling, you'll never see me complain
But until that time, you won't hear me complain


I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll keep my sadness hidden from you and cry alone


I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll keep my sadness hidden from you and cry alone


I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll keep my sadness hidden from you and cry alone

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.
