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 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 can not hide

Oh so I smile and say

When a lovely flame dies

Smoke gets in your eyes

Smoke gets in your eyes
