Lyrics:

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 beguile 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 while, and now smile a smile for me.

When Irish eyes are smiling, sure it's like the 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!

For your smile is a part of the love in your heart and it makes even sunshine more bright
Like the linnet's sweet song crooning all the day long comes your laughter so tender and light
For the springtime of life is the sweetest of all, there is never a real care or regret
And while springtime is ours throughout all of youth's hours let us smile each chance we get.

When Irish eyes are smiling, sure it's like the 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’ll steal your heart away!
