[Verse 1]
They ask me how I knew
My true love was true
I, of course, replied
"Something here inside
Cannot be denied"

[Verse 2]
They said "Some day you'll find
All who love are blind
When your heart's on fire
You must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes"

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
Now, laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide
So, I smile and say
"When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes"
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Now, laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide
So, I smile and say
"When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes"
