Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

They, they ask me how I knew

My true love was true

I of course reply

Something inside cannot be denied

They said, "Someday you'll find

All who love are blind

When your heart's on fire, you must realize

Smoke gets in your eyes"

So I chaffed them and I gayly laughed

To think they could doubt

To think they could doubt my love

But today, my love has flown away

I am without my love

Now laughing friends deride

Tears I cannot hide

So I smile and say

"When a lovely flame dies, smoke gets in your eyes"

But today, my love has flown away

I am without

I'm without my love

And now laughing friends deride

Tears I cannot hide

So I smile and say

"When a lovely flame dies, smoke gets in your eyes"
