Lyrics Smoke Gets in Your Eyes - Sarah Vaughan, Count Basie Orchestra, Sarah Vaughan, The Count Basie Orchestra

Smoke Gets in Your Eyes

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
