[Verse 1]
[D][Eb][D]
[C#]There's a tear[D] in your eye,
and I'm wondering why,
for it never should be there [C#]at al[D]l.
With such power [A]in your smile,
[D]sure as dawn you'd beguile,
though there's nev[Eb]er a
[A]teardrop should fall.
[D]When your sweet lilting laughter
is like some fairy song,
And your eyes [C#]twinkle bright as can be,
[D]You should lau[E]gh all the whi[Ab]le
and all other times smile,
And now [Eb]smile, a smile for [Ab]me.
[D]When I realize I'm smiling,
Purest like [G]a morning [D]spring,
in the lilt of Irish laughter,
you can hear [E]the an[A]gels sing.
When [D]Irish hearts are happy,
all the world seems [G]bright and [D]gay.
And when Irish [Ab]eye s[E] are s[D]miling,
[Eb]sure, they [Ab]steal [E]your [A]heart [D]away.[A][D]
For your smile is a part of
the love in your heart,
and it makes even sunshine more bright.
Like [A]the linens we've sung,
pruning [D]all the day long,
come [Eb]your laughter so tender [Ab]an d li[A]ght.
For [D]the springtime of life
is the sweetest of all,
there is ne 'er a real care or regret.
[G]And while spr[D]ingtime is [E]ours,
[Ab]throughout all of youth's
Let us smile each [Eb]chance [Ab]we get[A]
[Ab]When [D]Irish eyes are smiling
Sure it's like [G]a morning s[D]pring
In the lilt of Irish laughter
You [E]can hear the angels [A]sing
[D]When Irish parents are happy
All the world [G]seems bright [D]an d gay,
And when Ir[A]ish [E]eyes are [D]smiling,
Sure they [E]steal [A]your heart [D]away.
