Lyrics for Two Cigarettes In The Dark

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
