Smoke gets in your eyes

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

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.
