They asked me how I knewMy true love was trueI of course repliedSomething here inside cannot be deniedThey said "someday you'll find all who love are blind"When your heart's on fire,You must realize, smoke gets in your eyesSo I chaffed them and I gaily laughedTo think they could doubt my loveYet today my love has flown away,I am without my love (without my love)Now laughing friends derideTears I cannot hideSo I smile and sayWhen a lovely flame dies, smoke gets in your eyesSmoke gets in your eyesSongwriters: Otto Harbach / Jerome Kern
