from the 1933 musical
"Roberta" starring Bob Hope
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 cannot hide
So
I smile and say "when a lovely flame dies, smoke
gets in your eyes"
(smoke gets in your
eyes, smoke gets in your
eyes)
Smoke-gets-in-your-EYES
*chaffed*
is NOT a guess-my buddy has the sheet music to
prove it!!
