they asked me how i knew my true love was true oo oo oh i of course replied something here inside cannot be denied oh no they said someday you ll find all who love are blind oo oo 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 cannot hide oo oo oh so i smile and say when a lovely flame dies smoke gets in your eyes
