Lyrics
They ask 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"
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
So I smile and say "When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes"
Writer(s): Otto A. Harbach, Jerome Kern
