Nat King Cole › Lyrics › Smoke Gets in Your Eyes

They ask me how I knew
My true love was true
Ohh, I of course replied
Something dear inside
Cannot be denied

They said some day you'll find
All who love are blind
Ohh, 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
Ohh, so I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes
Smoke gets in your eyes
