They asked me how I knew
My true love was true
Oh, I of course replied
"Something here inside
Cannot be denied"
They said, "Someday you'll find
All who love are blind
Oh, 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 (without my love)
Now, laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide
Oh, 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
