Oh, 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 and I gaily laughed to think They could doubt my love. Yet today my love has flown away. I am without my love. And now laughing friends deride tears I cannot hide. Oh, So I smile and say “When a lovely flame dies, Smoke gets in your eyes.” Smoke gets in your eyes. Smoke gets in your eyes
