They ask 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 realise
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"
