There's a tear in your eye, And I'm wondering whyFor it never should be there at allWith such pow'r in your smile, Sure a stone you'd beguileSo there's never a teardrop should fallWhen your sweet lilting laughter's Like some fairy songAnd your eyes twinkle bright as can be;You should laugh all the while And all other times smileAnd now, smile a smile for meWhen Irish eyes are smilingSure, 'tis like the morn in SpringIn the lilt of Irish laughterYou can hear the angels singWhen Irish hearts are happyAll the world seems bright and gayAnd when Irish eyes are smilingSure, they steal your heart awayFor your smile is a part Of the love in your heartAnd it makes even sunshine more brightLike the linnet's sweet song, Crooning all the day longComes your laughter and lightFor the springtime of life Is the sweetest of allThere is ne'er a real care or regret;And while springtime is ours Throughout all of youth's hoursLet us smile each chance we get
