Lyrics
They asked me how I knew My true love was true oh, oh; I of course replied: Something here inside, Cannot be denied. They said someday you'll find, All who love are blind oh, oh; When your heart's on fire, You must realize Smoke gets in your eyes. So I chafed them and I gently laughed, To think they could doubt my love. Yet today my love has flown away, I am without my love. Now laughing friends deride, Tears I cannot hide oh, oh; So I smile and say, When a lovely flame dies, Smoke gets in your eyes.

I have to admit that i've never heard the original before, but i think you did a really great job here. Very beautiful and heartfelt vocal performance. The piano and strings sounds great too. Excellent work!

Wonderfully done Bob. I have to say, the covers of the older tunes that you have done come across to me as some of your best work. You sing incredibly well and your keyboard backup in this is just lovely. Great cover my friend!

Bobo, this is far the most beautiful version I've ever heard... Awesome mix, tight vocal - also brilliantly mixed -, and your harmonies remind me more and more of Chris Rainbow's way, a real Cry-Maker! Want to have the song!!!
