When Getting To Sleep Becomes Dramatic

Nothing really new. It's just one of those times when I would usually lull myself to sleep with a new downloaded song playing from my phone in the repeat mode. So many times I have been doing this, yet again, there are so many songs I love to sing with each time until I thought I was born with the lyrics imprinted on my head. And now this particular old song which was sung by Teatro Rizalia caught my attention while waiting for the inauguration of our new EITSC computer laboratory at RTU to start. Smoke Gets In Your Eyes by The Platters. I googled for the lyrics and I want to share it with you. Less the drama, it would not be a song most of us would appreciate. If you have loved before, then this one's for you. Listen to it and keep yourself from crying. I failed. Enjoy the song and the story!

Smoke Gets In Your Eyes (The Platters, Frank Sinatra)

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 don't realise

Smoke gets in your eyes

So I chaffed and I gaily laughed

To think they would 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."
