Smoke Gets in Your Eyes lyrics
by Jerome Kern
[Verse 1]
They asked me how I knew
My true love was true, oh, oh
I of course replied, "Something here inside
Cannot be denied"
(Do do do, do do do
Do do do, ahh)
[Verse 2]
They said, "Someday you'll find
All who love are blind," oh, oh
"When your heart's on fire, you must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes"
[Bridge]
So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed
To think they could doubt my love (Ahh)
Yet today, my love has flown away
I am without my love
(Without my love)
[Verse 3]
Now, laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide, hide
So I smile and say, when a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes
[Outro]
(Smoke gets in your eyes)
(Smoke gets in your eyes)
Smoke gets in your eyes
