Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

Smoke Gets In Your Eyes - billy eckstine

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

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
