Two Cigarettes in the Dark

by Betty Carter

Lyrics
Two, two cigarettes in the dark
He strikes a match 'til the spark
Clearly traces one face is my sweetheart

Two, two silhouettes in a room
Almost obscured by the gloom
We were so close, yet so far apart

It happened that I stumbled in
Upon their rendezvous
I heard my sweetheart whispering
"I love you, I love you, you know that I do"

Two, two cigarettes in the dark
Gone is the flame and the spark
Leaving just regrets
And two cigarettes in the dark

It happened that I stumbled in
Their secret rendezvous
I heard my sweetheart whispering
"I love you, I love you, you know that I do"

Two, two cigarettes in the dark
Gone is the flame and the spark
Leaving just regrets
And two cigarettes in the dark
