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 gayly 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
