While a Cigarette Was Burning

While a cigarette was burning

My heart was burning too

A smoke ring for your finger

A fashion in blue

While a cigarette was burning

Our smoke dreams all came through

We tried to make them linger

As lovers always do

From foolish dreams we walked

For love's choke that goes up in smoke

Now in each cigarette I see you yet

Somehow I shall never forget

While a cigarette was burning

We loved and laughed and learned

That hearts were made for breaking

While a cigarette burned

While a cigarette was burning

We loved and laughed and learned

That hearts were made for breaking

While a cigarette burned
