When Irish Eyes Are Smiling
[Verse]
There s a tear in your eye And I m wondering why
For it never should be there at all
With such power in your smile
Sure a stone you d bequile
So there s never a teardrop should fall
When your sweet lilting laughter s like some fairy song
And your eyes twinkle bright as can be
You should laugh all the while and all other times smile
And now smile a smile for me
[Chorus]
When Irish eyes are smiling Sure n it s like a morn in spring
In the lilt of Irish laughter You can hear the angels sing
When Irish hearts are happy All the world is bright and gay
-
And when Irish eyes are smiling Sure they steal your heart away
