Smoke gets in your Eyes   (KDM 138)   Chris Froggatt  (The Platters) 1957

OPENER

Sides Face Grand Square

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

FIGURE

Heads Promenade Halfway

Sides - Tch. 1/4, Walk and Dodge

Swing Thru, go two by two

Girls Circulate, Boys Trade, Boys Run

Ferris Wheel

Zoom, Pass Thru, Swing the corner, Promenade

Smoke gets in your eyes

MIDDLE BREAK

Sides Face Grand Square

So, I chaffed them and I gaily laughed

To think they could doubt my love

Allemande and Weave the Ring

Yet today, my love has flown away

I am without my love

CLOSER

Sides Face Grand Square

They asked me how I knew

My true love was true

Ohhh…  Whoa… (Allemande and Weave)

I of course replied

When that loving flame dies, smoke gets in your eyes

  TAG

Swing her there, 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
