Smoke Gets in Your Eyes Songtext

von Jeri Southern

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 realize

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"

Now laughing friends deride tears I cannot hide
So I smile and say
"when a lovely flame dies,
Smoke gets in your eyes"
