Man in a Raincoat Songtext
von Priscilla Wright

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 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
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

Now when I pass the place where we met
I'm wondering if I would 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
