A Little Bit of Heaven

A Little Bit of Heaven - John McCormack (麥考梅克)/The Peerless Quartet

Have you ever heard the story

Of how Ireland got it's name

I'll tell you so you'll understand

From whence old Ireland came

No wonder that we're proud

Of that dear land across the sea

For here's the way my dear old mother

Told the tale to me

Sure a little bit of heaven

Fell from out the sky one day

And nestled in 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

It's the only place you'll find them

No matter where you go

Then they dotted it with silver

To make it's lakes so grand

And when they had it finished

Sure they called it Ireland

'Tis a dear old land of fairies

And of wondrous wishing wells

And nowhere else on God's green earth

Have they such lakes and dells

No wonder that the angels loved

It's shamrock bordered shore

'Tis a little bit of heaven

And I love it more and more

Sure a little bit of heaven

Fell from out the sky one day

And nestled in 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

It's the only place you'll find them

No matter where you go

Then they dotted it with silver

To make it's lakes so grand

And when they had it finished

Sure they called it Ireland
