Smoke gets in your eyes

They ask me how I knew

My true love was true

Ohh I of course replied

Something dear inside

Cannot be denied



They said some day you'll find

All who love are blind

Ohh when your heart's on fire

You must realise

Smoke gets in your eyes



So I chaffed them

And I gayly 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

Ohh so I smile and say

When a lovely flame dies

Smoke gets in your eyes

Smoke gets in your eyes
