They ask me how I knew
My true love was true
 I of course replied
Something here inside
Cannot be deny
They said:
"Someday you'll find
All who love are blind
When your heart is on fire
You must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes"

So I shut them and I gaily laughed
To think they could doubt my love
Yet today my love has flown away
I'm without my love
Now laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide
So I smile and say
When a lovely play dies
Smoke gets in your eyes

So I smile and say
When a lovely play dies
Smoke gets in your eyes

(Harbach)
