The Man in the Raincoat Lyrics
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
