about

Recorded in 1946.

lyrics

They asked me how I knew
My true love was true.
I of course replied,
"Something here inside
Can not be denied."

They said some day 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."
