- Chorus:
- 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 gets in your eyes."
