Smoke Gets in Your Eyes J. Kern ( Andrey Kiselev, Mstislav Antonov)

Smoke Gets in Your Eyes is a show tune written by American composer Jerome Kern and lyricist Otto Harbach for the 1933 musical Roberta. 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 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
