Serge Gainsbourg
Smoke Gets in Your Eyes
[Couplet 1]
They asked me how I knew
My true love was true
I, of course, replied
Something here inside
Cannot be denied

[Couplet 2]
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

[Refrain]
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

[Couplet 3]
Now laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide
So I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes
[Solo de claviers : Alan Hawkshaw]

[Refrain]
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

[Couplet 4]
Now laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide
So I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes
