When Irish Eyes Are Smiling

When Irish Eyes Are Smiling - Frank Patterson (弗蘭克·帕特森)

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
