They asked me, how I knew My true love was true I of course replied, 'Something here inside Cannot be denied' They said, 'Some day you'll find All who love are blind When you 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 And 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, smoke gets in your eyes'
