The Blackcountry Man

Smoke gets in your eyes....

Lazy day today, Mrs BM keeps moaning for me to do something, doesn't she know it's hard work thinking up some blips.

Played about with some smoke and saw these eyes in the image and thought of this song, by The Platters, which I once had on a 78 rpm Bakelite record.

They asked me how I knew
My true love was true
Oh, I of course replied
Something here inside cannot be denied

They said someday you'll find
All who love are blind
Oh, 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

Now laughing friends deride
Tears I can not hide
Oh, so I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes
Smoke gets in your eyes

Truely one of the greats.
