When Irish Eyes Are Smiling lyrics

There's a tear in your eye, And I'm wondering why
For it never should be there at all
With such pow'r 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, 'tis like the morn in 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

For your smile is a part Of the love in your heart
And it makes even sunshine more bright
Like the linnet's sweet song, Crooning all the day long
Comes your laughter and light
For the springtime of life Is the sweetest of all
There is ne'er a real care or regret;
And while springtime is ours Throughout all of youth's hours
Let us smile each chance we get
