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 then I gaily laughed
To think that 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
