The Man in the Raincoat Lyrics by Marion Marlowe

1955

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
