Clifford Brown - Smoke Gets in Your Eyes Lyrics

They asked me how I knew
That 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
That 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

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
