"SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES" er en gammel evergreen fra 1933 som The Platters hadde
hit med i 1958 mens Bryan Ferry gjorde sin versjon i 1974. NJS framfører
melodien mykt og stemningsfullt slik en stor, god ballade skal gjøres.
Smoke
Gets In Your Eyes
(Otto
Harbach/Jerome Kern)
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 them and I gaily laughed
To
think they would doubt my love
Yet
today my love has flown away
I
am without love
Now
laughing friends deride
Tears
I cannot hide
So
I smile and say, when a lovely flame dies
Smoke
gets in your eyes
