Smoke
Title: Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
Composer: Otto Harbach / Jerome Kern
Lyrics:
They asked me how I knew
My true love was true
Oh, I, of course, replied
Something here inside
Cannot be denied
They said, “Someday you’ll find
All who love are blind”
Oh, When your heart’s on fire
You must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes
So, I chaffed them
As I gaily laughed
To think they would doubt our love
Yet today, my love has gone away
I am without my love (Without my love)
Now, laughing can be right
Tears, I cannot hide
Oh, so I smile and say
“When a lovely flame dies,
Smoke gets in your eyes”
