They asked me how I knew
My true love was true oh, oh;
I of course replied:
Something here inside,
Cannot be denied.
They said someday you'll find,
All who love are blind oh, oh;
When your heart's on fire,
You must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes.
So I chafed them and I gently laughed,
To think 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 oh, oh;
So I smile and say,
When a lovely flame dies,
Smoke gets in your eyes.
