Gertrude Niesen — Smoke Gets in Your Eyes

They ask me how I knew My true love was true I, of course, 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 realize Smoke gets in your eyes So I chaffed them And I gaily 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"
