Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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"

[PreChorus]

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

[Chorus]

Now laughing friends deride

Tears I cannot hide

So I smile and say, "When a lovely flame dies

Smoke gets in your eyes"

[PreChorus]

So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed

To think they could doubt my love

And yet today my love has flown away

And I'm without my love

[Chorus]

Now laughing friends deride

Tears I cannot hide

So I smile and say, "When a lovely flame dies

Smoke gets in your eyes"
