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
