Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

Smoke Gets In Your Eyes - Helen Forrest/Nat King Cole

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

Oo--oo--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

So I smile and say

"When a lovely flame dies

Smoke gets in your eyes"
