Smoke Gets in Your Eyes
Otto Harbach, Jerome Kern
They asked me how I knew my true love was true
I, of course replied, "Something here inside cannot be denied"
They said, "Someday, you'll find all who love are blind
Oh, 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
So I smile and say
"When a lovely flame dies
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, mmh
Now, laughing friends deride tears I cannot hide
So I smile and say
"When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes"
Smoke gets in your eyes
