They
Asked 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'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
So I smile and say "when a lovely flame dies, smoke gets in your eyes"
(smoke gets in your eyes, smoke gets in your eyes)Smoke-gets-in-your-EYES
*chaffed* is NOT a guess-my buddy has the sheet music to prove it!!
