They asked me how I knew

My true love was true

I of course replied

Something here inside

Cannot be denied

They said someday you'll find

All who love are blind

When you 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 gone 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

You are the promised kiss of springtime

That makes the lonely winter seem long

You are the breathless hush of evening

That trembles on the brink of a lovely song

You are the angel glow that lights the star

The dearest things I know are what you are

Someday my happy arms will hold you

And someday I'll know that moment divine

When all the things you are are mine

Are mine

You are the angel glow that lights the star

The dearest things I know are what you are

Someday my happy arms will hold you

And someday someday

I'll know that moment divine

When all the things you are are mine
