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 We smiled as we climed on the old streetcar I blushed when he asked "are you travelling far" The next time we met the sun shined all day We walked and we talked until the evening was grey
He took me dancing, dancing 'til dawn No happier couple had ever been 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 pass the place where we met I'm wondering if I could forgive and forget
Though bitter is my heart And foolishly proud I still go on looking When out in a crowd For a man in a raincoat standing there With laughing eyes and dark brown hair
