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 and then I gaily laughed
To think that 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
