Smoke Gets in Your Eyes

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

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

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

smoke gets in your eyes"

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

smoke gets in your eyes."
