The Man in the Raincoat

The Man in the Raincoat - Marion Marlowe

Hmmmm hmmmm

Late in the evening

Out on 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 climbed on the old streetcar

I blushed when he asked

Are you traveling far

The next time we met the sun shone all day

We walked and we talked 'til the evening was gray

Hmmmm hmmmm

He took me out 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 now 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 keep on looking

When out in a crowd

For a man in a raincoat

Standing there

With laughing eyes and dark brown hair

Hmmmm hmmmm

Hmmmm hmmmm
