Lyrics

(Eb)They

asked me how I (Bb7sus)knew

(Bb7)my true love was (Eb)true.

(Adim7)I, of course, re (Eb)plied,

some thing here in (Fm7)side

(Bb7)can not be de (Eb)nied.

(Eb)They

said some day you’ll (Bb7sus)find

(Bb7)all who love are (Eb)blind.

(Adim7)When your heart’s on (Eb)fire,

you must re al (Fm7)ize

(Bb7)smoke gets in your (Eb)eyes.

(B)So I chaffed

them and I gay ly laughed

to think they could (F#7)doubt

(Cdim7)my

(F#7)love.

(B)Yet to day

my love has (Abm7)flown a way;

I am with (Eb)out

my

(Bb7)love.

(Eb)Now

laugh ing friends de (Bb7sus)ride

(Bb7)tears I can not (Eb)hide,

(Adim7)so I smile and (Eb)say,

“When a love ly flame (Bb7sus)dies,

(Bb7)smoke gets in your (Eb)eyes.”
