Lyrics

(D)They

(F#m7)asked me (Fdim7)how I (Em7)knew

(A7)my true love was (D)true.

(G#dim)I of course re (F#m)plied,

(Bm7)some thing here in (Em7)side

(A7)can not be de (B7)nied.

(D)They

(F#m7)said some (Fdim7)day you’ll (Em7)find

(A7)all who love are (D)blind.

(G#dim)When your heart’s on (F#m)fire,

(Bm7)you must re al (Em7)ize

(A7)smoke gets in your (Gm7)eyes.

(Bb)So I chaffed

them, and I (Gm7)gai ly laughed

to think they could (Dm7)doubt

(Db7)my

(F7)love.

(Bb)Yet to day,

my love has (Gm7)flown a way,

I am with (Dmaj7)out

(D#dim7)my

(A)love.

(D)Now,

(F#m7)laugh ing (Fdim7)friends de (Em7)ride

(A7)tears I can not (D)hide,

(G#dim)so I smile and (F#m)say,

(Bm7)“When a love ly flame (Em7)dies,

(A7)smoke gets in your (Gm7)eyes.”
