My Irish Angel

G                        D
In the fall of the year
C                               G
She flew across the ocean
G                        D                  [Am]D
To Ireland, the land of her fathers
G                     D                    C                      G
When we said goodbye, a tear was in her eye
G                              D                      Am D
I lost her then and there, my Irish angel
G                        D                        C                G
The first letter came, she said she loved it there
G                          D                                 Am   D
And now how she wished I was now with her
G                             D                  C           G
She wrote it on the hill, in the gentle Irish rain
G                         D                    Am D
I saw her in my mind, my Irish angel
Em                                     D
I wrote her back and then
 G                                 Am
There was no second letter
Em   D                      G  Am
Just the silence of the storm that fell around me
G                    D
I let her down, I know
C          G
The day I let her go
G   D                    Am D
She's found someone else, my Irish angel
G                  D                     C                     G
When I first saw her, my heart went into spinning
G   D  Am D
When they speak of love they call it falling
G                  D                               C                G
It was like I held my breath until laid eyes on her again
G                            D                    Am D
Too beautiful, she was my Irish angel
Em                    D          G                         Am
When I stole a glance, then too a stolen kiss
Em                               G                           G Am
I thought I knew the chance that I was takin
        G                            D        C                        G
And though I've never known a love as strong as this
G                 D           Am  D
And what it was to feel my own heart breaking
Em                      D                          G      Am
So now I raise a glass and then I raise another
G                            D         Am D
One to forget and one to remember
G                               D             C                                    G
Oh I wanted just to dream the way things could have been
G                D                   Am G
If I hadn't lost my Irish angel
