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 I gayly laughed to think they could doubt why 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 your eyes."
