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
