When Irish Eyes Are Smiling

When Irish Eyes Are Smiling - Dennis Day

Written by：Ernest R. Bell/George Graff Jr./Chauncey Olcott

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 beguile

So 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

And now smile a smile for me

When Irish eyes are smiling sure it's like a morning 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

When Irish hearts are happy

All the world seems bright and gay

And when Irish eyes are smiling

Sure they steal your heart away
