Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

[Insider]

according to The Platters

They ask 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 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"


a truly gorgeous song. :thumbsup:

1. Last song recorded by Jerry Garcia, too, if I'm not mistaken

for the soundtrack to... er... WTF - Harvey Keitel movie. Cigar store somehow involved. Can't remember it. Maybe in another beer.

Der - yeah. on edit - "Smoke" was the movie.

rendition always sticks with me... I agree, a truly gorgeous song.

5. That's a GREAT song.

I was first introduced to it in the Steven Speilberg film "Always". Gorgeous is the right word.
