A Cigarette and a Silhouette

A Cigarette and a Silhouette - Mildred Bailey

Written by：Sammy Cahn/Saul Chaplin

A cigarette and a silhouette

Create a mood that is blue

For the cigarette helps me grin

And the silhouette looks like you

And easy chair where I rest my hair

A single light burning low

Where the smoke takes the shape of cloud

And the light is the moon of glow

All through this dreamy heaven

I go back two days gone by

When the moon was real

And you were real

And my hopes were in the sky

If this memory only clings to me

I won't regret being blue

For I can forget with a cigarette and a silhouette of you
