Smoke Gets in Your Eyes Songtext
von Serge Gainsbourg

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 can not hide

So I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
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
