Smoke gets
in your Eyes (KDM 138)

Sides
They asked me
how I knew
My true love
was true
Ohhh… Whoa… (Allemande and Weave)
I of course
replied
When your
heart’s on fire, smoke gets in your eyes

Heads Promenade Halfway
Sides - Tch. 1/4, Walk
and Dodge
Swing Thru, go two by two
Girls Circulate, Boys
Trade, Boys Run

Zoom, Pass Thru, Swing the corner, Promenade
Smoke gets in
your eyes
MIDDLE BREAK

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
CLOSER
Sides
They asked me
how I knew
My true love

When that loving flame dies, smoke gets in your eyes

ORIGINAL LYRICS
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 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
And 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
