They ask me how I knew

My true love was true

I of course replied, something here inside

Cannot be denied



They said, some day 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 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, so I smile and say

When a lovely flame dies

Smoke gets in your eyes



So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed

To think they could doubt my love

And 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
