“Crying in the Rain” is a song written by Howard Greenfield and Carole King and was originally recorded by The Everly Brothers. The single peaked at #6 on the U.S. pop charts.
The song was the only collaboration between successful songwriters Greenfield (lyrics) and King (music), both of whom worked for Aldon Music at the time of the song’s composition. On a whim, two Aldon songwriting partnerships decided to switch partners for a day — Gerry Goffin (who normally worked with King) partnered with Greenfield’s frequent writing partner Jack Keller, leaving King and Greenfield to pair up for the day. Despite the commercial success of their collaboration, King and Greenfield never wrote another song together.

Lyrics
| Crying in the rain 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 stormy 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 take 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 the complain I’ll do my crying in the rain |
在雨中哭泣 我絕不讓你看見 我破碎的心讓我傷痛的樣子 我有我的尊嚴 而且我知道如何隱藏憂傷與痛苦 我會在雨中哭泣 如果我等待暴風雨的天空 你不會知道我眼中是淚是雨 你永遠不會知道我依然深愛著你 儘管心痛仍在 我會在雨中哭泣 雨滴從天空落下 帶不走我的傷悲 但自從我們不再相聚 我會等待暴風雨以掩飾淚水 但願你永遠沒看見 有一天當我不再哭泣 我會面帶笑容，走在陽光裡 也許我很傻 但到那個時候，親愛的 你再也聽不到抱怨 我會在雨中哭泣 |
