Now, with my wife, on my porch, a small fire in front of us, a whisky for me, and singing together "smoke getsbin ur eyes".
Life isnt getting any better
They asked me how I knew
My true love was true
I of course replied
Something here inside
Can not be denied
They, said some day you'll find
All who love are blind
When you 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 our love
And yet today, my love has gone 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
I found this song through a Criminal Minds episode and I am absolutely in love. I will be sure to continue listen to this beautiful music and the people who made it. When I show people songs like this (this is the type of music I listen to) they’re shocked because I’m only 12. How I wish songs like this would get the recognition they deserve. Music these days really sucks.
I loved slow dancing to the platters when my wife and we're young 56 years ago we were married 53 years ago 19 65
Tomorrow is are 53 anniversary
Still together
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 could doubt my love
Yet today my love has flown away,
I am without my love (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
This is one of those songs that came out 40 something years before I was born, yet I've heard it in various movies,TV shows and even an oldies station throughout my entire life and it sticks with you. It's one of those songs everybody's heard at some point. Not many songs have that kind of staying power and can be familiar with different generations. But this one can. I unfortunately can't say the same for today's music or even a lot of the songs I grew up with. Lots will be forgotten over time. This will never be. Amazing song that kind of makes me nostalgic for a time period that I wasn't even close to being alive during.
