They asked me how I knew
My true love was true
Ah,I of course replied
Something here inside
Can not be denied
They said someday you'll find
All who love are blind
Ah, 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 cannot hide
Ah, so I smile and say
“When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes”
Smoke gets in your eyes
