smoke gets in your eyes
edit by 到处留情
they asked me how i knew
my true love was true?
i of course replied,
"something here inside,
cannot be denied,"
they said some-day you"ll find,
all who love are blind.
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.
now laughing friends deride,
tears i cannot hide,
so i smile and say,
~when a lovely flame dies,
smoke gets in your eyes."
