SMOKE GETS In YOUR EYES
- as played by Platters (Capo on 3rd Fret)
Verse 1:
They asked how I knew,
my true love was true, oh, oh.
I of course replied:
"Something here inside, cannot be denied".
Break:
Verse 2:
They said, some day you’ll find
all whose love are blind, oh, oh.
When your heart’s on fire,
You must realize, smoke gets in your eyes.
Bridge:
Chorus:
So I chaffed them and gaily laughed,
to think they could doubt my love.
Yet today, my love has flown away,
I am without my love.
Verse 3:
Now laughing friends deride,
Tears I cannot hide, oh, oh.
So I smile and say:
“When a lovely flame dies,
Smoke gets in your eyes.
Finale:
…in your eyes
Smoke gets in your eyes
Smoke gets in your eyes
