Roberta, Act 2: "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes"

"Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" - Jeanne Lehman/John McGlinn/London Sinfonietta

They ask 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 are love are blind

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

So I smile and say when a love 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 love flame dies

Smoke gets in your eyes
