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 our 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,"
