That Bad Eartha: Smoke Gets In Your Eyes - Eartha Kitt

They asked me, how I knew

My true love was true

I of course replied, something here inside

Can not be denied

They said, some day 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 would doubt my love

Yet today, my love has blown 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

So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed

To think they would doubt my love

Yet today, my love has blown 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
