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 be guile
And 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
So now, smile a smile for me

When Irish eyes are smiling, sure it's like a mornin' 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'll steal your heart away

When Irish eyes are smiling, sure it's like a mornin' 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'll steal your heart away
