Smoke Gets in Your Eyes Lyrics

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,
When your heart's on fire,
You must realise,
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.

Now laughing friends deride,
Tears I cannot hide,
So I smile and say,
When a lovely flame dies,
Smoke gets in your eyes.
