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 as I gaily laughed
To think they would doubt my love
Yet today, my love has gone away
Now, 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

So, I chaffed them as I gaily laughed
To think they would doubt my love
Yet today, my love has gone away
Now, I am without my love

Now, laughing friends deride
Tears, I cannot hide (oh, oh, oh)
So, I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes
