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
