Píseň: Smoke Rings

Interpret:
Sam Cooke
Album:
Mr. Soul
Where to they go
 Smoke rings I blow each night
 Oh, where to they go
 Those circles of blue and white


 I wonder, why do they sing
 To picture a dream above, above
 Above, above, above
 Then why do they fade
 My phantom parade of love


 Puff, puff, puff
 Oh, you can puff your cares away
 Puff, puff, puff
 Night and day


 Blow, blow them into air
 Silky little rings
 Oh, little smoke rings I love
 Please take me above with you


 One more thing I wanna know is
 Where do they end
 The smoke rings I send on a high
 Where are they hurled
 When they've kissed the world goodbye


 Let me tell you that
 I'd give my life to laugh at this strife
 Below, below, below
 Down here below, for I'd be a king
 I'd follow each ring I blow
 So little smoke rings I love
 Please take me above with you
