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.
How about Lionel Ritchie!
night lights
cross my window
like a game
fall upon the music
and settle on our desire
morning comes
an arrow
with its flame
that burns our song
into a lovely fire.

It's a lot easier...
to do html---
with cut/paste
when smoke gets in your eyes!
Must be doing
something wrong
can not see/love/html
when smoke gets in your eyes!
If you really want to get smoke in your eyes, try shooting with Black Powder. Aloha
