Lyrics to You Go Up In Smoke
Lyrics for You Go Up In Smoke Recorded By The ExplorersWhen I draw the blinds pour a drink & wonder
How much you mean to me
Think of all the times that you dragged me under
Say, the blues have got to me.
Life has no love or understanding
Now you have taken heart & soul
Oh, I love you still but you're not there
I reach out 'till you go up in smoke smoke and disappear
I cry when small things remind me how lovely you were
When we first were free
Once I was a king now I am lonely
Thinking how it used to be
Life has no love or understanding
Now you have taken heart & soul
Oh, I love you still but you're not there
I reach out 'till you go up in smoke smoke and disappear
Now the memory of another day
Flies around me and then it fades away
If only I could believe in something
Life has no love or understanding
Now you have taken heart & soul
Oh, I love you still but you're not there
I reach out 'till you go up in smoke smoke and disappear
And disappear
You Go Up In Smoke
