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 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 get in your eyes"
