They asked me how I knewMy true love was trueI of course replied”Something here insideCannot be denied”They said someday you’ll findAll who love are blindWhen your heart’s on fireYou don’t realiseSmoke gets in your eyesSo I chaffed and I gaily laughedTo think they would doubt my loveYet today, my love has flown awayI am without my loveNow laughing friends derideTears I cannot hideSo I smile and say”When a lovely flame dies,
Smoke gets in your eyes.”
