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 pow’r 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
 
When Irish eyes are smiling / Sure it’s like a 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
