They ask me how I knew 

My true love was true 

Ohh I of course replied 

Something dear inside 

Cannot be denied 



They said some day you'll find 

All who love are blind 

Ohh when your heart's on fire 

You must realise 

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 

Ohh so I smile and say 

When a lovely flame dies 

Smoke gets in your eyes 

Smoke gets in your eyes
