Musical Memories
Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
Recorded by the Platters in 1959
Written by Jerome Kern in 1933 for the musical "Roberta"


They asked me how I knew
My true love was true
Oh, I of course replied
Something here inside cannot be denied
They said someday you'll find
All who love are blind
Oh, when your heart's on fire
You must be 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
Oh, 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

Take a minute and close your eyes and listen to the song or keep them open and sing along with the words. Think back to when you heard it. Does it remind you of a special date, a special party, or maybe a special evening looking at the lights from Monte Sano?
