| 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." |
