They asked me how I knew my true love was true
I, of course, replied something here inside cannot be denied
They said some day you'll find all who love are blind
When your hearts are on fire, you must realize smoke gets in your eyes
So I chaffed them and I gayly 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
