They asked me how I know
My true love was true oh
I of course replied
Something here inside
Cannot be denied

They said someday you'll find
All who love are blind oh
When your heart's on fire
You must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes

So I chaffred 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 oh
So I smile and say,
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke get in your eyes
Smoke get in your eyes
