The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
We ran out of conversation
And almost out of cigarettes
What an awkward situation
Darling, I had none but fortunately
You had one, just one
Chorus
One cigarette for two
One little glance from you implied
It would be nice if we’d divide
That one cigarette for two
There in the midnight blue
Was there a moon?
I wouldn’t know
All I remember is the glow
Of one cigarette for two
Each little puff I measured
Watching the light descend
Each little puff I treasured
Down to the very end
I got a thrill, did you?
And does a mem’ry linger yet
Of lips that lingered where they met
On one cigarette for two?
