Smoke Gets in Your Eyes

Barbra Streisand - Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

They asked 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"

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"

I say "smoke gets in your eyes"
