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 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
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)
