When Irish eyes are smiling

Sure it's like a morning spring.

In the lilt of Irish laughter,

You can hear the angels sing.

When Irish hearts are happy,

All the world seems bright and gay.

And when Irish eyes are smiling,

Sure, they steal your heart away.

~~~

There's a tear in your eye ~~

There's a tear in your eye

~~ and I'm wondering why

For it never should be there at all ~

at all ~ at all...

With such power in your smile,

sure a stone you'd beguile,

So there's never a teardrop should fall.

With your sweet lilting laughter like some fairy's song,

And your eyes twinkle bright as can be,

You should laugh all the while

and other times smile,

And now smile that smile for me.

~~~

Chorus:

When Irish eyes are smiling

Sure it's like a morning spring.

In the lilt of Irish laughter,

You can hear the angels sing.

When Irish hearts are happy,

All the world seems bright and gay.

And when Irish eyes are smiling,

Sure, they steal your heart away.
