Stormy Weather Lyrics

Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
The Platters
Words by Otto Harbach and Music by Jerome Kern

Peak Billboard position # 1 in 1958
In 1934, four versions charted: Paul Whiteman (#1), Leo Reisman (#3),
Emil Coleman (#4), and Ruth Etting (#15)
In 1941 Artie Shaw took it to # 24.
from the 1933 musical "Roberta" starring Bob Hope

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"Leo Reisman - Stormy Weather - http://motolyrics.com/leo-reisman/stormy-weather-lyrics.html
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 cannot hide
So I smile and say "when a lovely flame dies, smoke gets in your eyes"

(smoke gets in your eyes, smoke gets in your eyes)

Smoke-gets-in-your-EYES

*chaffed* is NOT a guess-my buddy has the sheet music to prove it!!
