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
