Walking In The Rain
The Ronettes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 Ronettes' song Walking in the Rain speaks to a universal desire for companionship and love. The lyrics describe the singer's longing for a man who is kind, good-looking, and shares her interests. The song suggests that love can manifest in the small moments, like walking in the rain, wishing on stars, and being wrapped up in the happiness that comes with being in love with someone special. The lyric "and I'll be certain he's my guy by the things he'll like to do" emphasizes that the singer is not just looking for someone who looks good on paper, but someone whose interests align with hers, and who she can share moments with.
Furthermore, the lyrics also suggest that although there will be arguments and disagreements, in the end, they will not matter much because of the strong foundation of their love. The final lines "Oh oh oh where can he be oh oh" leave the song with a sense of longing for love that has not yet arrived.
Overall, Walking in the Rain is a timeless anthem about the yearning for love, companionship, and the feeling of being wrapped up in someone special.

@Alissa Reminiec; I don't remember which station it was, KRLA or KFWB down in LA County. Anyway, every morning when my clock radios alarm went off, I would awaken to the beautiful harmony of The Ronnetts singing this song, "Walking In The Rain".
I fell in love with that girl group and still listen to their music today. Geez, I sure feel old.

As long as there is music, she and her sister will be with us.
