Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

Sarah Vaughan

They ask me how I knew


My true love was true


I ofcourse reply


Something inside


Cannot be denied





They said some day you'll find


All who love are blind


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


To think they could doubt my love





But 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





But today my love has flown away


I am without


I'm without my love





And now laughing friends deride


Tears I cannot hide


So I smile and say


When a lovely flame dies


Smoke gets in your eyes
