Píseň: Smoke Gets in Your Eyes

Interpret:
Serge Gainsbourg
Album:
Rock Around the Bunker
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 don´t realise
Smoke gets in your eyes


So I chaffed and I gaily laughed
To think they would 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."


So I chaffed and I gaily laughed
To think they would 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."
