The Isle O' Dreams: When Irish Eyes are Smiling: When Irish Eyes Are Smiling-John McCormack

When Irish Eyes Are Smiling - John McCormack 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 follow me When irish eyes are smiling Sure it's like gun morn in 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 For your smile is a part Of the love in your heart And it makes even sunshine more bright Like the linnet's sweet song Crooning all the day long Comes your laughter saw end the and light For the springtime of life is the sweetest of all There is ne'er a real care or regret And while springtime is ours Through out all of youth's hours Let us smile each chance we get When irish eyes are smiling Sure it's like gun morn in 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
