Late in the evening, out on the square
A man in a raincoat, standing there
We met by the lamp where the newsboy cried
He stole my heart with his laughing eyes
Mmmmm

He took me dancing, dancing til dawn
No happier couple had ever been born
I felt lke a queen and he was my king
He borrowed some money to buy me a ring
Mmmmm

But I'm still alone Now 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 could forgive and forget
Mmmmm
