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 don't realize

Smoke gets in your eyes

So I chaffed and I gaily laughed

To think they would 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
