Smoke Gets In Your Eyes - Patti Austin

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
