Smoke Gets in Your Eyes Lyrics

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.
