They asked me how I knew my true love was true Ah, I of course replied Something here inside can not be denied They said someday you'll find All who love are blind Ah, 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 Ah, so I smile and say “When a lovely flame dies, Somke gets in your eyes” Somke gets in your eyes
