Irish eyes, there for me
Laughter in the rain
You called me child
My heart ran wild
I must have been a pain

Irish eyes were kind to me
You said I was a kid
The one regret
I harbor still
Is what we never did

We sat in cars and later bars
I wish we could again
To pay to you
My gratitude
For what you gave back then.

They came to me too late to say
That you were gone from now
Oh, how I wish
That I had known
And could have helped somehow.

I carry still within my ear
The laughing voice I heard
When Irish eyes
Did smile at me
Now, fly away, my bird.
