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,
and I'm wondering why,
For it never should be there
at all.
With such power in your smile,
sure a stone you'd beguile,
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 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.
"I'm Looking Over A Four Leaf
Clover"
I'm looking over a four leaf
clover
That I over-looked before.
One leaf is sunshine, the second
is rain,
Third is the roses that grows
in the lane.
No need explaining the one remaining
Is somebody I adore.
I'm looking over a four leaf
clover
That I over-looked before!
"My Wild Irish Rose"
My Wild Irish Rose,
The sweetest flower that grows.
You may search everywhere,
But none can compare with my
wild Irish Rose.
My Wild Irish Rose,
The dearest flower that grows.
And someday for my sake,
She may let me take,
The bloom from my wild Irish
Rose.
"Danny Boy"
Oh, Danny Boy, the pipes... the
pipes are calling,
From glen to glen and down the
mountain side.
The summer's gone and all the
leaves are falling,
Tis you, Tis you must go and
I must bide.
But come ye back, when summer's
in the meadow,
and all the valley's hushed
and white with snow.
And I'll be here in sunshine
or in shadow,
Oh, Danny Boy, Oh, Danny Boy,
I love you so!
But when ye come, and all the
flowers are dying
If I be dead, as dead I well
may be.
Then come and find the place
where I am lying,
And kneel and say an Ave there
for me.
And I shall hear, though soft
your tread above me,
And all my grave will warmer,
sweeter be.
And you shall bend, and tell
me that you love me,
And I shall rest in peace until
you come to me.
