They asked me how I knew
My true love was true?
I of course replied,
"Something here inside,
Cannot be denied,"
They said some-day 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."
