Smoke gets in your eyes
Nu Colours
They asked me how I knew my true love was true
I, of course, replied
"Something there inside cannot be denied"
They said someday you'll find all who love are blind
When you 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."
