They asked me how I knew

My true love was true

Oh-oh-oh-oh, I, of course, replied

"Something here inside

Cannot be denied"

They said, "Someday you'll find

All who love are blind"

Oh-oh-oh-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 would doubt our love

Yet today, my love has gone away

I am without my love

Now, laughing friends deride

Tears, I cannot hide

Oh-oh-oh-oh

So, I smile and say

"When a lovely flame dies

Smoke gets in your eyes"

Smoke gets in your

eyes
