Jerome Kern Smoke Gets in Your Eyes ^{минус №4}

They asked me how I knew 
my true love was true
Oh-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
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
