  • When Irish eyes are smiling
    Sure, 'tis 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 seems bright and gay
    And when Irish eyes are smiling
    Sure, they steal your heart away

    When Irish hearts are happy
    All the world seems bright and gay
    And when Irish eyes are smiling
    Sure, they steal your heart away Lyrics from a song in Public Domain
