WHEN IRISH EYES ARE SMILING (Lyric by Chauncey Olcott and Geo. Graff, Jr.;Music by Ernest R. Ball)
[C]There's
a tear in your eye, And I'm wondering why, For[G7] it [C]never should be there at[G7] all. With such pow'r in your
smile, Sure a[C] stone you'd be[A7]guile, So there's[D7] never a teardrop should[G] fall. When[G7] your sweet lilting
laughter's Like some fairy song, And your[C] eyes twinkle[C7] bright as can[F] be; You should[D7] laugh all the while And
all [G]other times smile, And now,[D7] smile a smile for[G] me.
Cho: When[C] Irish[G] eyes are[C] smiling, Sure,
'tis[F] like the morn in[C] Spring. In the[F] lilt of Irish [C]laughter [F]You can[D7] hear the angels[G] sing. When[C]
Irish[G] hearts are[C] happy, All the[F] world seems bright and[C] gay. And when[F] Irish eyes are[C] smil[A7]ing, Sure,
they[D7] steal your[G7] heart a[C]way.
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 and light. For
the springtime of life Is the sweetest of all There is ne'er a real care or regret; And while springtime is ours Throughout
all of youth's hours, Let us smile each chance we get.
