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

OhWhen 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 Oh

So I smile and say

When a lovely flame dies smoke gets in your eyes

Yet today my love has gone 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
