Walking In The Rain
The Proms Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want him, and I need him,
And someday someway woo I'll meet him
He'll be kind of shy, and real good lookin' too
And I'll be certain he's my guy by the things he'll like to do

Like walking in the rain (like walking in the rain)
And wishing on the stars (and wishing on the stars) up above
And being so in love

When he's near me, I'll kiss him,
And when he leaves me woo I'll miss him
Though sometimes we'll fight, I won't really care
And I'll know it's gonna be alright 'cause we've got so much we share

Like walking in the rain (like walking in the rain)
And wishing on the stars (and wishing on the stars) up above
And being so in love

(Johnny) no no he'll never do
(Bobby) no it isn't him too
They would never no they'd never never ever ever love
Walking in the rain (like walking in the rain)
And wishing on the stars (and wishing on the stars) up above
And being so in love





Oh oh oh where can he be oh oh

The lyrics of "Walking in the Rain" by The Ronettes are a romantic portrayal of the search for true love. The singer describes her longing for a man who is both handsome and shy, but also someone who shares her interests and passions. She believes that she will meet him someday and that they will be perfect together, even if they sometimes fight. The song stresses the importance of shared experiences like walking in the rain and wishing on stars, and how being in love makes them magical.


The first verse establishes the singer's desire for her ideal man. She wants him so badly, and she knows that he will be the one for her. However, she also recognizes that he will be shy, and she will have to work to get to know him. The second verse highlights the singer's confidence in the relationship. Even though they will have fights, she knows they will be okay, and their shared experiences will carry them through.


The bridge of the song is interesting as it brings in two other people named "Johnny" and "Bobby," who the singer knows won't be the one for her.

Lastly, the final line of the song leaves us hanging, wondering where this perfect man could be, and will she ever find him?

I'm singin' in the rain
Just singin' in the rain
What a glorious feeling
I'm happy again.
I'm laughing at clouds.
So dark up above,
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love.

Let the stormy clouds chase.
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I've a smile on my face
I walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Just singin',
singin' in the rain
Dancin' in the rain
la ri la la ri la,
I'm happy again!
I'm singin' and dancin' in the rain!
(instrumental solo)
Dancin' and singin' in the rain...
