Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
Love's Illusion: When Smoke Gets in Your Eyes
Lyrics
They asked me how I knew
Expressing inquiry about knowledge of true love.
My true love was true
Affirming the truthfulness of the speaker's love.
I of course replied
Confirming the authenticity of the feelings.
"Something here inside cannot be denied"
Indicating an undeniable internal feeling of love.
They said, "Someday you'll find
Suggesting a future realization that love can be blind.
All who love are blind"
Quoting a belief that those in love may not see flaws.
When your heart's on fire
Describing intense emotions in love.
You must realize, smoke gets in your eyes
Advising awareness of the consequences of passionate love.
So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed
Mocking those who doubt the sincerity of the speaker's love.
To think they could doubt my love
Expressing amusement at the doubt of true love.
Yet today, my love has flown away
Revealing the departure of the speaker's love.
I am without my love
Expressing the speaker's emotional state after the loss.
Now laughing friends deride
Describing the ridicule from friends in a lighthearted manner.
Tears I cannot hide
Indicating the inability to conceal tears.
So I smile and say
Responding to the situation with a smile and resignation.
"When a lovely flame dies, smoke gets in your eyes"
Stating that when a passionate love ends, sorrow follows.
