If you've ever been in love
You know the fire in your heart


They asked me how I knew
My true love was true
Oh, I, of course replied

Something here inside
Cannot be denied


They said, someday you'll find
All who love are blind
Oh, oh, 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


And yet today
My love has flown away

And I'm without my love

Now laughing friends deride

Tears I cannot hide
Oh, oh, hide


So I smile and say
When that lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes


Laughing friends deride
Smoke gets in your eyes
