Smoke Gets in Your Eyes - The Platters

They asked me how I knew,

My true love was true,

Oh-oh-oh-oh, I, of course, replied,

"Something here inside,

Cannot be denied."

They said, "Someday you'll find,

All who love are blind.

Oh-oh-oh-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.

Oh-oh-oh-oh, so I smile and say,

"When a lovely flame dies,

Smoke gets in your eyes."

Smoke gets in your eyes.
