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 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\" Now laughing friends deride tears I cannot hide So I smile and say \"when a lovely flame dies, Smoke gets in your eyes\"
