Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
They ask me how I knew
My true love was true
I, I of course replied
"Something here inside
Cannot be denied," oh no
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 gaily laughed
To think they could doubt my love
Yet today, my love has flown away
I am without my love
Now laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide, boo hoo
So I smile and say
"When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes"
