They asked me how I knew My true love was true Oh-oh-oh-oh, I, of course, replied "Something here inside Cannot be denied." They said, "Someday you'll find All who love are blind. Oh-oh-oh-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-oh-oh-oh, so I smile and say "When a lovely flame dies Smoke gets in your eyes." Smoke gets in your eyes.
