While a Cigarette Was Burning

While a Cigarette Was Burning - Joan Edwards/Paul Whiteman Orchestra

While a cigarette was burning

My heart was burning too

A smoke ring for your finger

You fashion in a blue

While a cigarette was burning

Our smoke dreams all came through

We try to make them linger

As lovers always do

From foolish dreams we walk

For love's a 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
