They asked me how I knew

My true love was true

I of course replied

Something here inside

Can not be denied

They, said some day you'll find

All who love are blind, no!

When you heart's on fire

You must realize

Smoke gets in your eyes

So I chaffed them, and I gaily laughed

To think they would doubt my love

And yet today, my love has gone away

I am without my love

Now laughing friends deride

Tears I cannot hide, no!

So I smile and say

When a lovely flame dies

Smoke gets in your eyes

(Smoke gets in your eyes)

(Smoke gets in your eyes)

Smoke gets in your eyes
