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 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.
