When Irish Eyes Are Smiling

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 be guile

And 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

So now, smile a smile for me



When Irish eyes are smiling, sure it's like a mornin' 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'll steal your heart away



When Irish eyes are smiling, sure it's like a mornin' 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'll steal your heart away
