Verse 1

They asked me how I knew,
my true love was true, oh, oh.
I of course replied:
"Something here inside, cannot be denied".

Break

    

Verse 2

They said, "Some day you’ll find
all who love are blind" oh, oh.
When your heart’s on fire,
You must realize, smoke gets in your eyes.

Break

    

Bridge

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. 

Verse 3

Now laughing friends deride,
Tears I cannot hide, oh, oh.
So I smile and say:
"When a lovely flame dies,
Smoke gets in your eyes."

Finale

…in your eyes
Smoke gets in your eyes 
Smoke gets in your eyes
