When Irish Eyes are Smiling  - Sung by the Irish Tenors

 

There's a tear in my 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.

With your sweet lilting laughter

Like some fairy song,

And your eyes twinkle bright as can be;

You can smile all the while

Or all other times smile,

So let’s, smile a smile for me.

 

Chorus

When Irish eyes are smiling,

Sure, 'tis like the 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 the smile in your heart

Is the loveliest part,

And it makes even sunshine more bright.

Like the linnet's sweet song,

Crooning all the day long,

Comes your laughter so tender and light.

For the springtime of life

Is the sweetest of all

And there’s never real care or regret;

For the springtime is ours

Throughout all of youth's hours,

So let’s smile each chance we get.

CHORUS
