“Smoke gets in your Eyes” is a show tune written by American composer Jerome Kern with lyricist Otto Harbach for the 1933 musical comedy Roberta. The song also featured in the 1935 movie Roberta, famously danced by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. The lyric “When your heart’s on fire, smoke gets in your eyes” comes from a Russian proverb, symbolizing how intense love blinds you to flaws.
