Lyrics:

They asked me how I knew
My true love was true
I of course replied
Something here inside
Can not be denied
They, said some day you'll find
all who love are blind
When you heart's on fire
you must realize
smoke gets in your eyes
So I chaffed them, and I gaily laughed
to think they would doubt our love
And yet today, my love has gone 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
