Smoke Gets in Your Eyes

Do-do-do
Do-do-do

They asked me how I knew
My true love was true
(Do-do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do)
I of course replied
Something here inside cannot be denied

They said: Someday you'll find all who love are blind
(Do-do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do)
When your heart's on fire
You must realize, smoke gets in your eyes

So I smiled and then I gaily laughed
To think they could doubt my love
Yet today my love has flown away
I am without my love (without my love)

Now laughing, friends deride
Tears I cannot hide
(Do-do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do)
So I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies, smoke gets in your eyes
