Smoke Gets In Your Eyes - Harbach/Kern/Jeri Southern

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

Now laughing friends deride tears I cannot hide

So I smile and say

When a lovely flame dies

Smoke gets in your eyes
