Smoke Gets In Your Eyes Lyrics - Present Perfect - Rob Mcconnell & The Boss Brass

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 don't realize 

Smoke gets in your eyes 

So I chaffed and I gaily laughed 

To think they would 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."
