(Belated) Song for Sunday: Smoke Gets in Your Eyes

I had no inspiration for my "Song for Sunday" until late in the evening, so I am posting it today. Sorry for my tardiness.

Last night, my family and I had a lovely dinner with friends. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. At one point we were sitting around the fire pit, making s'mores. The smoke seemed to follow me as I moved around the circle to get out of it's way. We were all laughing about it and someone commented that "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" was a favorite song of his. It became this week's "Song for Sunday."




Baby,
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 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."


Smoke gets in your eyes

 Smoke gets in your eyes

 Smoke gets in your eyes
