Coleman Hawkins - Smoke Gets in Your Eyes

[00:01.19]Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

[00:37.36]They asked me how I knew
[00:44.12]My true love was true?
[00:51.29]I of course replied,
[00:54.89]"Something here inside,
[00:59.19]Cannot be denied,"
[01:09.06]They said some-day you'll find,
[01:14.29]All who love are blind.
[01:21.54]When your heart's on fire,
[01:25.00]You must realize
[01:28.42]Smoke gets in your eyes.
[01:36.94]So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed,
[01:43.52]To think they could doubt my love.
[02:43.04][01:50.79]Yet today, My love has flown away.
[02:49.43][01:56.61]I am without my love.
[02:56.91][02:04.68]Now laughing friends deride,
[03:02.41][02:09.83]Tears I cannot hide,
[03:09.11][02:17.09]So I smile and say,
[03:13.36][02:20.53]~When a lovely flame dies,
[03:17.21][02:24.09]Smoke gets in your eyes."
