They asked me
how I knew
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 chaffed them
and I gaily 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 gets in your eyes
Smoke gets in your eyes
