Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

   -- Lyric by Otto Harbach
      Music by Jerome Kern
      from Roberta (1933)       

They asked me how I knew
My true love was true?
I of course replied,
"Something here inside,
Cannot be denided,"

They said some-day 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 gayly laughed,
to think they could doubt my love.
Yet today, My love has flown away.
I am without my love.

Now laughing griends deride,
Tears I cannot hide,
So I smile and say,
~When a lovely flame dies,
Smoke gets in your eyes."
