Karaoké Smoke Gets in Your Eyes (live) Kurt Elling

Yesterday

I thought that love would last

That love was sent from above

Yet today

I find my love has flown away

I am without my love

They ask me how I knew my true love was true

I of course reply

Something so deep inside cannot be denied

They said

Someday you'll find all who love are absolutely blind

When your heart's on fire you must realize smoke gets in your eyes

So I chaffed them and I gayly laughed that they would doubt my love

Yet today

I find my love has flown

I'm 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 them and I gayly laughed that they would doubt my love

Yet today

I find my love has flown

I am without my love

Now laughing friends deride tears I cannot hide

So I smile and say

When a lovely flame dies love will leave you crying in your sleep

Once you're in too deep love will leave you lost and lonely

Love will break your heart

Love will make you fall apart the moment that you stop belonging

Nothing ends the pain tearing you away

Wondering where you made your big mistake

Wishing on a star

Promises go far

Now she's gone

Never in my wishing did I think of love's pain

Now I'll have to think again

My happy ever ending is for someone else
