Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

They ask 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 is 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."
Smoke gets in your eyes
