They ask 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

So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed
To think they could doubt my love
And 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
