Geraldo and his Orchestra
While A Cigarette Was Burning
My heart was burning too
The smoke ring for your finger
I fashioned in the blue
While A Cigarette Was Burning
Our smoke dreams all came true
We tried to make them linger
Like lovers always do
From foolish dreams we woke
Our loves a joke 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
