John Alford Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
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"
(smoke gets in your eyes, smoke gets in your eyes)
Smoke-gets-in-your-EYES
