Smoke Gets In Your Eyes lyrics

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