They asked me how I knew

My true love was true

I of course replied

Something here inside

Cannot be denied

They said: Someday you'll find

All who love are blind

When your heart's on fire

You must realise

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

So I smile and say

When a lovely flame dies

Smoke gets in your eyes

(Smoke gets in your eyes)

(Smoke gets in your eyes)

Smoke gets in your eyes

Smoke gets in your eyes
