Smoke gets in your eyes
(Rök i ögat)
T: Otto Harbach
M: Jerome Kern
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,
you must realize:
Smoke gets in your eyes".
So I called them and I gaily laughed
to think they could doubt my love.
Yet to-day
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 lovley flame dies,
smoke gets in your eyes.
