Jerome Kern
Smoke Gets in Your Eyes
[Intro]
Smoke, smoke, smoke, smoke
Smoke, smoke, smoke, smoke
[Verse 1]
They ask me how I knew
My true love was true, ooohooohooo
I, of course, replied:
"Something here inside
Cannot be denied"
Smoke gets in your eyes
To my smoke gets in your eyes
[Verse 2]
They said someday you'll find
All who love are blind, ohoho
When your heart's on fire
You must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes
Smoke gets in your eyes
Yes, I know!
Smoke gets in your eyes
[Verse 3]
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!
Without my love
[Verse 4]
Now, laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide, ohoho
So, I smile and say:
"When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes"
Smoke gets in your eyes
[Bridge]
I said sm-smoke!
Smoke gets in your eyes
[Verse 5]
Now, laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide, ohoho
So, I smile and say:
"When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes"
Smoke gets in your eyes
[Outro]
Smoke, smoke in your eyes
Smoke, smoke in your eyes
Bye, bye, in your eyes!
Smoke, smoke in your eyes
Smoke, smoke in your eyes
