The Platters', "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes"
The Lyrics:
So I smile and say,
"When a lovely flame dies,
Smoke gets in your eyes."
"When a lovely flame dies,
Smoke gets in your eyes."
Why:
So I smile and say,
"When a lovely dame flies,
Smoke gets in your eyes."
"When a lovely dame flies,
Smoke gets in your eyes."
