“Some thing here in
(A7)can not be de (D)nied.”
(D)They
said, “Some day you’ll (Em)find
(A7)all who love are (D)blind.
(G#dim)When your heart’s on (D)fire,
you must re al
(A7)smoke gets in your (D)eyes.”
(Bb)So I chaffed
them and I gai ly laughed,
to think they could (F)doubt

(G#dim)So I smile and (D)say,
“When a love ly flame (Em7)dies,
