(Otto Harbach / Jerome Kern)

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)
