Raining in My Heart
Heartache Under Clear Skies: Raining in My Heart Meaning
Lyrics
The sun is out, the sky is blue
The weather is pleasant and cheerful.
There's not a cloud to spoil the view
No obstacles or problems are apparent.
But it's raining, raining in my heart
Despite the outward positivity, the speaker feels a deep emotional pain or sadness.
The weatherman says clear today
The weather forecast predicts a clear day.
He doesn't know you've gone away

And it's raining, raining in my heart
Despite the clear day, there's an internal emotional storm for the speaker.
Oh misery, misery

What's gonna become of me?

I tell my blues they mustn't show
