They asked me how I knew
My true love was true
Oh, I, of course, replied
Something here inside can not 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
