When Irish Eyes Are Smiling

lead vocals:

C C7 F C
C
When Irish eyes are smiling,
C7
Sure 'tis like a morn in spring.
F
In the lilt of Irish laughter
C              A7
You can hear the angels sing.
D7
When Irish hearts are happy,
G              G7
All the world seems bright and gay.
C                  C7
And when Irish eyes are smiling,
F         C      G7    C
Sure, they steal your heart away.

[Verse]
C                           C7
There's a tear in your eye, and I'm wondering why,
F                             C
For it never should be there at all.
                              C7
With such pow'r in your smile, sure a stone you'd beguile,
D7                          G     G7
So there's never a teardrop should fall.
C                                C7
When your sweet lilting laughter's like some fairy song,
F                           C       A7
And your eyes twinkle bright as can be,
D7
You should laugh all the while and all other times smile,
                G           G7
And now smile a smile for me.

[Chorus]
C
When Irish eyes are smiling,
C7
Sure 'tis like a morn in spring.
F
In the lilt of Irish laughter
C              A7
You can hear the angels sing.
D7
When Irish hearts are happy,
G              G7
All the world seems bright and gay.
C                  C7
And when Irish eyes are smiling,
F         C      G7    C
Sure, they steal your heart away.
