Smoke Gets in Your Eyes

Smoke Gets in Your Eyes - Dinah Washington/Harold Hal Mooney/Wynton Kelly Trio

They asked me how I knew

My true love was true

I of course replied

Something here inside

Can not be denied

They said some day you'll find

All who love are blind

When you 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 gone 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

And yet today my love has gone away

And 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
