When Irish Eyes Are Smiling Chords & Lyrics - Chauncey Olcott

[VERSE]

There's a [C]tear in your eye And I'm wondering why
[G7]For it [C]never should be there at all
With such [G7]power in your smile
Sure a [C]stone you'd [A7]bequile
So there's [D7]never a teardrop should [G]fall [G7]
When your [C]sweet lilting laughter's like some fairy song
[G7]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

[CHORUS]

When [C]Irish eyes are smiling Sure'n it's [F]like a morn in [C]spring
In the li[F]lt of Irish laug[C]hter[A7] You can h[D7]ear the angels si[G]ng [G7]
When [C]Irish hearts are happy[C7] All [F]the world is bright and g[C]ay
And when Ir[F]ish eyes are s[A7]miling Sure they s[D7]teal your he[G7]art a[C]way

[VERSE]

For your s[C]mile is a part, of the love in your heart

[G7]And it ma[C]kes even sunshine more bright

Like the lin[G]net's sweet song, Crooning a[C]ll the day long,

Comes your la[D7]ughter so tender and li[G]ght [G7]

For the spr[C]ingtime of life, Is the sweetest of all

[G7]There is [C]ne'er a real c[C7]are or reg[F]ret

And while spr[D7]ingtime is ours, Throughout a[G]ll of youth's hours,

Let[D7] us smile each chance[G] we [G7]get

[CHORUS]

When [C]Irish eyes are smiling Sure'n it's [F]like a morn in [C]spring
In the li[F]lt of Irish laug[C]hter[A7] You can h[D7]ear the angels si[G]ng [G7]
When [C]Irish hearts are happy[C7] All [F]the world is bright and g[C]ay
And when Ir[F]ish eyes are s[A7]miling Sure they s[D7]teal your he[G7]art a[C]way
