Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

1933

Otto Harbach (w)

Jerome Kern (m)

Roberta, 1933

VERSE

They asked me how I knew
My true love was true.
I of course replied,
Something here inside,
Cannot be denied.

They say someday you'll find,
All who love are blind,
When your heart's on fire,
You must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes.

BRIDGE

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.

VERSE

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