Smoke Gets in Your Eyes

They ask me how I knew

My true love was true

I, I of course replied

Something here inside cannot be denied, oh no

They said, "Someday you'll find

All who are 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, boo hoo

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

Smoke gets in your eyes
