Smoke Gets In Your Eyes - Live On The Ed Sullivan Show, March 1, 1959

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

They said, "Someday you'll find all who love are blind"
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 gone away
I am without my love (without my love)
Now, laughing friends deride tears I cannot hide
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
