Smoke Gets In Your Eyes Vic Damone Lyrics
They ask 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”
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”
