Smoke Gets in Your Eyes [1940] Lyrics
They asked me how I knew
My true love was true
Oh, I of course replied
Something here inside cannot be denied
They said someday you'll find
All who love are blind
Oh, 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
Yet today my love has flown away
I am without my love
Now laughing friends deride
Tears I can not hide
Oh, so I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes
Smoke gets in your eyes
My true love was true
Oh, I of course replied
Something here inside cannot be denied
All who love are blind
Oh, when your heart's on fire
You must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes
To think they could doubt my love
Yet today my love has flown away
I am without my love
Tears I can not hide
Oh, so I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes
Smoke gets in your eyes

It sounds like love can be bittersweet, unrequited, and blind. The person truly believes in love but their friends might be cynical.The person then gets the heart broken and believes that love can be blind like his or her friends' warned about.
