Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

They asked 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 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
