Smoke gets in your eyes They asked me how I knew My true love was true Oh!, oh!, I , of cause replied Something here inside cannot be denied They said someday you'll find All who love are blind Oh!, oh!, when your heart's 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, laughting friend deride Tear I cannot hide Oh!, oh!, So I smile and say "when a lovely flame die" Smoke gets in your eye
