The Platters - The Great Pretender

Smoke Gets in Your Eyes

They asked me how I knew my true love was true
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, I, of course replied
"Something here inside cannot be denied"
(Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, whoa)

They said, "Someday, you'll find all who love are blind
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, when your heart's on fire
You must realize 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 (without my love)

Now, laughing friends deride tears I cannot hide
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, so I smile and say
"When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes" (smoke gets in your eyes)

(Smoke gets in your eyes)
Smoke gets in your eyes
