Limmericks - Smoke Gets in Your Eyes Lyrics

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

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 as I gaily laughed
To think they would doubt our love
Yet today, my love has gone away
I am 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
