Smoke gets in your eyes

Story about this misheard lyric by: Dawn Beatson-njie

I always thought it was about 'small dents in your eyes' and sung along to it when my parents played the record. I thought it a bit macabre, and remember being really surprised later in life when I found out that it didn't say that at all.
