Standard (EADGBE)
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 bequile
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
CHO:
When Irish eyes are smiling Sure'n it's like a morn in spring
In the lilt of Irish laughter You can hear the angels sing
When Irish hearts are happy All the world is bright and gay
And when Irish eyes are smiling Sure they steal your heart away
