A Little Bit of Heaven

A Little Bit of Heaven - Dennis Day

Written by：J. Keirn Brennan/Ernest R. Ball

Have you ever heard the story of

How Ireland got its name

Well I'll tell you so you'll understand

From whence old Ireland came

No wonder that I love

That dear old land across the sea

For here's the way my dear old father

Told the tale to me

Sure a little bit of heaven fell

From out the sky one day

And it nestled on the ocean

In a spot so far away

And when the angels found it

Sure it looked so sweet and fair

They said suppose we leave it

For it looks so peaceful there

So they sprinkled it with stardust

Just to make the shamrocks grow

This the only place you'll find them

No matter where you go

Then they dotted it with silver

To make its lakes so grand

And when they had it finished

Sure they called it Ireland

So they sprinkled it with stardust

Just to make the shamrocks grow

This the only place you'll find them

No matter where you go

Then they dotted it with silver

To make its lakes so grand

And when they had it finished

Sure they called it Ireland
