Serge Gainsbourg — Smoke Gets in Your Eyes

[Couplet 1] They asked me how I knew My true love was true I, of course, replied Something here inside Cannot be denied [Couplet 2] 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 [Refrain] 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 [Couplet 3] Now laughing friends deride Tears I cannot hide So I smile and say When a lovely flame dies Smoke gets in your eyes [Solo de claviers : Alan Hawkshaw] [Refrain] 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 [Couplet 4] Now laughing friends deride Tears I cannot hide So I smile and say When a lovely flame dies Smoke gets in your eyes
