Late in the evening, out in the square A man in a raincoat, standing there We met by the lamp where the newsboy cries He stole my heart with his laughing eyes He smiled as we climbed on the old street-car I blushed when he asked, "Are you traveling far?" The next time we met the sun shone all day We walked and we talked till the evening was grey He took me dancing, dancing till dawn No happier couple had ever born I felt like a queen and he was my king
He borrowed some money to buy me a ring But I'm still alone, the cards are all down He's taken my money and skipped out of town And now when I pa** the place where we met I'm wondering if I can't forgive and forget Though hurt is my heart and foolishly proud I still keep on searching when out in a crowd For a man in a raincoat, standing there With laughing eyes and dark brown hair
