THERES A TEAR IN YOUR EYE AND I'M WON-DER-ING WHY
FOR IT NEV-ER SHOULD BE THERE AT ALL.
WITH SUCH POWER IN YOUR SMILE,
SURE A STONE YOU'D BE-GUILE.
SO THERES NEV-ER A TEAR DROP SHOULD FALL.
WHEN YOUR SWEET LILT-ING LAUGH-TERS
LIKE SOME FAIRY SONG.
AND YOUR EYES TWIN-KLE AS BRIGHT AS CAN BE.
YOU SHOULD LAUGH ALL THE WHILE
AND ALL OTHER TIMES SMILE
AND NOW SMILE A SMILE FOR ME
WHEN I-RISH EYES ARE SMIL-ING,
SURE IT'S LIKE A MORN IN SPRING.
IN THE LILT OF I-RISH LAUGH-TER,
YOU CAN HEAR THE AN-GELS SING.
WHEN I-RISH HEARTS ARE HAP-PY,
ALL THE WORLD SEEMS BRIGHT AND GAY.
AND WHEN I-RISH EYES ARE SMILING,
SURE THEY STE-AL YOUR HEART A-WAY.
FOR YOUR SMILE IS A PART,
OF THE LOVE IN YOUR HEART.
AND IT MAKES EV-EN SUN-SHINE MORE BRIGHT.
LIKE THE LIN-ETS SWEET SONG,
CROON-ING THE DAY LONG.
COMES YOUR LAUGH-TER SO TEN-DER AND LIGHT.
FOR THE SPRING-TIME OF LIFE,
IS THE SWEET-EST OF ALL.
THERE IS NE'ER A REAL CARE OR RE-GRET.
AND WHILE SPRING-TIME IS OURS,
THROUGH OUT YOUTHS HOURS.
LET US SMILE EACH CHANCE WE GET.
WHEN I-RISH EYES ARE SMIL-ING
SURE IT'S LIKE A MORN IN SPRING
IN THE LILT OF I-RISH LAUGH-TER
YOU CAN HEAR THE AN-GELS SING
WHEN I-RISH HEARTS ARE HAP-PY
ALL THE WORLD SEEMS BRIGHT AND GAY
AND WHEN I-RISH EYES ARE SMILING
SURE THEY STE-AL YOUR HEART A-WAY.
