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 is on fire You must realize Smoke gets in your eyes" So I shut them, and I gaily laughed To think they could doubt my love Yet today my love has flown away I'm without my love Now laughing friends deride Tears I cannot hide So I smile and say When a lovely play dies Smoke gets in your eyes So I smile and say When a lovely play dies Smoke gets in your eyes
