Lyrics for Song: Smoke Gets In Your Eyes 
Lyrics for Album: 20th Anniversary Box Set [2011]
  
               
  17082>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 don't realise
  Smoke gets in your eyes
 
 
  So I chaffed and I gaily laughed
  To think they would 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."
