The Platters – Smoke Gets In Your Eyes lyrics
Baby,
They asked me how I knew
My true love was true
I of course replied
"Something here inside
Cannot be denied"

They said someday you'll find
All who love are blind
When your heart's on fire
You must realise
Smoke gets in your eyes


So I chaffed and I gaily laughed
To think they would doubt my love
Yet today, my love has flown away
I am without my love

Now laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide
So I smile and say
"When a lovely flame dies,
Smoke gets in your eyes
. "

    I had to laugh very hard since I was singing "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" quite loud and when I do that my cat always comes up, stands on the table next to me and looks. Finally I guess when he has heard enough, he bites me on the forearm a couple times. I didn't think my singing was that poor. Can't hold it against him. Was actually funny.

    Sometimes we meet someone who seems very special and we start to believe what we want to. "something here inside cannot be denied. " we want them to be interested in us and this can make us jump to thinking that they return our interest "smoke gets in your eyes. " then one day we get the rude shock that they are interested in someone else and not us "a lovely flame dies," "tears i cannot hide. "

    So many times I have fallen in love with a man, and people around me will say, "what do you see in him? He's damaged goods, be warned. " so I go blithely on my way, still into him, still trying to please him, and he blows me off for no good reason at all. The same people who warned me tell me off, too, and I'm left alone and in tears with a broken heart.
