Smoke Gets in Your Eyes

Smoke Gets in Your Eyes - Betty Madigan

They asked me how I knew

My true love was true

I of course replied

Something here inside cannot be denied denied

They said someday you'll find all who love are blind

When your heart's on fire

You must realize smoke gets in your eyes

So I chaffed them as 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
