They asked me how I knew
My true love was true (ah, was true)
I of course replied
Something here inside cannot be denied (be denied)
They said "someday you'll find all who love are blind" (who love are blind)
When your heart's on fire (when your heart's on fire)
You must realize (you must realize)
Smoke gets in your eyes
So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed
To think they could doubt (could doubt) my love
Yet today my love has flown away,
I am without (I am without) my love
They asked me how I knew
My true love was true
I of course replied
Something here inside cannot be denied (cannot be denied, oh)
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 (in your eyes)
So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed
To think they could doubt (could doubt) my love
Yet today my love has flown away (flown away)
I am without my love
Now laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide, I cannot hide
So I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies (a flame dies) Smoke gets in your eyes (smoke gets in your eyes)
So I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes (in your eyes)
Smoke gets in your eyes
