Platters, The - Smoke Gets in Your Eyes Lyrics






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 could doubt my love
And 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

Platters, The Smoke Gets in Your Eyes Comments
  1. A.... n....

    What a mood the platters could set on a darkened dance floor. So many times, when I was young, I held a beautiful girl close to me and dreamed of what could be. When I was young.....so long ago.

  17. A.... H....

    One time I asked my grandma why they were singing about smoke in your eyes. She explained to me that people used to be allowed to smoke in restaurants and in other public places and that the smoke would always get into your eyes. I still remember that conversation. This is a very beautiful song that makes me want to somewhat cry.

  37. G.... ....

    I always thought this recording had almost an otherworldly feel to it. It's such a well produced and inspired recording by a great singing group, and the orchestrations were wonderful. Soothing music.

  38. J.... K....

    ❤❤❤👍

  39. J.... T....

    My Grandparents song from Johnstown Pa.. the lead violin from the Johnstown orchestra would show up every Christmas eve and play carols on his violin but always ended with this song..he would always cry...so the rest of us didn't feel so alone in our tears....thanks for posting this song..God Bless.

  40. R.... L....

    I am now 73 YO. Looking back I have to say MUSIC did more to overcome racial tensions than almost anything. The radio was color blind. Until Elvis showed up , MOST of the music I listened to was by Black folks. How can you HATE someone that has so much to offer?

  41. M.... G....

    ça fait toujours rêver

  42. G.... D....

    j'adore

    Love this song, brings a lot of memories of my younger day's !!

  50. /.... ....

    I'm here because I'm in love. You'll find the most beautiful songs when you have an old soul.

  51. L.... C....

    I doubt there is anyone who can reach the range this lead singer did. If they do its electronically assisted.. Back then you either had it or not. The true emotion was felt when performing not like today, it is all about showing off your ass and pretension.

  52. m.... ....

    My parents had this song on 45. They thought i was weird because I would play it so often, but I loved this song so much, then as now...

  53. R.... B....

    I listen to this song because I like good music. Nothing brought me here expect good music.

  54. T.... L....

    Anyone remember this song used in the movie Always. My favorite movie of all time. First time I heard van Morrison too. Huge fan of him too.

    T.... L....

    Such a good movie!

  55. O.... O....

  61. A.... Y....
