The Platters - Smoke Gets In Your Eyes - 1958

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 cannot hide
Oh, so I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes
Smoke gets in your eyes

In 1958, a beautiful woman caught the eye of a handsome young man at a dance.. he asked her if she wanted to dance and she said yes.. as they got closer, this song came on.. this was the first song my memom and grandpop danced to..after the song was over, he kissed her and the rest is history.. they lived a beautiful life & I am forever honored & grateful to have had the honor of being their granddaughter.. my grandfather died of cancer in 08 & when we laid him to rest, my grandmother chose to play this song at his funeral.. 5 days ago, my grandmother passed away & this past Tuesday we played this song at her funeral as well, as their life together had come full circle.. the bond I shared with them is unbreakable in death as it was in life and this has been the hardest time of my life, but I find peace in knowing they're together again for eternity dancing to their song in heaven until I one day join them again. RIP memom & grandpop, thank you for the time I was able to share with you during my time here on earth. Forever in my heart & never ever to be forgotten.

I remember 1958. I was 15 and this music took me to the stars. Music has always been a part of my life and always will be. Love these old melodies.

[@poisonedbubbletea270]

Songs from the 50's and 60's are so much better than today's songs. I don't care if none of my friends know them, I don't care that I'm still a kid, songs today suck. In some cases, quite literally

[@Pack.Leader]

Good for you, for being able to appreciate true music.

[@violetmiller9999]

You are so right, poisoned. Now THIS is music!!

[@NachoDog3]

How do I like your comment more than once?

[@oliviaperez3913]

Freb by the hi

[@SarcasticPixie]

I find that rock music from the 70s and 90s is my fav. Today’s music ain’t got the same soul, as they say ;)

[@hyrulehistorian1336]

Such a beautiful, powerful, and thoughtful, deep song... So true, sadly. Smoke gets in our eyes when we are in love and we are too blind to see anything except what we want to see and what our own feelings lead us to believe. Sometimes they are right, but often it ends in heartbreak. God bless the person who made this song.

[@alesssndromanzoni2920]

The PLATTERS used to be a feature in one of the most exclusive night club in Versilia, the Italian Riviera where the rich and famous spend their summers without being bothered by paparazzi. Every summer they used to come and my sister was going to that night club called LA BUSSOLA in her best evening gowns. I was ten years old then but I loved the PLATTERS's songs then as I do now. They are part of my most cherished memories.

[@karmamcgowan2903]

They played this on criminal minds heathridg manor I like this song

[@OF01975]

Watched this episode of criminal minds when i was like 10, such a creepy episode with an eerie but beautiful song. Glad i found it.

[@VulgarMessiah]

Thank you 45 Years

[@chasemice]

VulgarMessiah Such a perfect song for the sad ending....the ending lyrics say it all

[@whatchalookinat4573]

To my grandpa and grandma this was one of their favorites, Collins and Stephanie,...love you forever

[@marybelsoto-ramirez2333]

I heard this song when I was a ver young child. I loved it at once. I did not speak English at that time. But the song caugth me. When my dad came home I asked what was the title of that wonderful song. I tried to lalalá for him...and he said, Oh! "Humo en tus ojos", Smoke gets in your eyes... it is one of my favorites. My dad worked in a radio station and from that day one, he played it and sent greeting to his little girl, at the closing of his programme. On May 25th. two years ago, my dad passed. Dad, I miss you a lot, and smoke gets in my eyes, thinking of you. Thsnks for the songs we shared and your impecable musical taste

[@healthdios]

What a great story! Gracias por compartir tus recuerdos.

[@deni00767]

Marybel you're dad must be proud of you! 💗❣💌

[@codydaniels6782]

I’m 37 but I was raised on this era of music. So much heart and soul poured into this music. It wasn’t about charts, labels, money or anything else. It was people pouring emotion to tell a story. Yes, money came but it wasn’t much really and it was only after the sound was created. Today’s music will never stand the test of time. I promise that to you.

[@jimmiegregory8386]

[@lorenzfuentes6437]

I spent an hour just to look for this song. this is the sentence I used: when the love was true...love cant be denied... in your eyes :)

I just adore this song

[@MrRustyWest]

Really takes me back!

[@Nissi210]

Thank you for posting this song. It reminds me of my mother who died in 1966. She loved the Platters and especially this song. Music like perfume and food (sound, scent and taste) makes a memory appear so vividly surreal..

[@MrJamieMurph4141969]

I happen to know, it was right around Christmastime 1958, when this song came out. Every time I hear this song, it makes me think of the scene in the movie "La Bamba,"(because you hear this song in background, during this scene),where Ritchie has just come home for Xmas(1958), and he is having it out with his brother Bob, in the guest house--in a nutshell, Bob is JEALOUS of Ritchie, for REALLY having made himself SOMETHING, in the family, compared to Bob, who is "nothing but a BIG ZERO,"even if that's Bob's own fault, due to having brought it on himself(what with his alcoholism, of course.) Great song, and, VERY 50s-ish quality, to it!!! The Platters were great!!!

[@edwardbranca54]

Today, by order of the Rockland County, NY, Health Department, the smoking room at Spring Valley Rest Home in Nanuet New York was permanently closed. This is a victory for good health and clean air. Thank you, Dept. of Health.
