Speranza
1933
they asked me how I knew
my true love was true
o I of course replied
something here inside cannot be denied
they said someday you'll find
all who love are blind
o when your 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 flown away
I am without my love
now laughing friends deride
tears I can not hide
o so I smile and say
when a lovely flame dies
smoke gets in your eyes
smoke gets in your eyes
--- From: “Roberta”.
