They  asked how I knew,
my  true love was true, oh, oh.
I  of course replied:
"Something  here inside, cannot  be denied".
They  said, some day you’ll find
all  whose love are blind, oh, oh.
When  your heart’s on fire,
You  must realize, smoke  gets in your eyes.
So  I chaffed them and 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, oh, oh.
So  I smile and say:
“When  a lovely flame dies,
Smoke  gets in your eyes.
 Finale:
 
 in your eyes
Smoke  gets in your eyes
Smoke  gets in  your eyes
