Irish Eyes

Irish Eyes

Look into these Irish Eyes
So Old and Worn and Wise
They said the grass was greener – On the other side
But that was just a lie 
I’ve watched the gloaming – I’ve seen the signs
Looked in the mirror and read between the lines
I’ve met the Devil’s own and seen through his disguise
Through Irish Eyes 

These Irish Eyes
Have shed a thousand tears and long for Paradise
I’ll see the morning sun rise across an Irish Sky
Through Irish Eyes

Looking through these Irish Eyes
It comes as no surprise
The lights are fading but if Luck is on my side
I’ll make it home in time

These Irish Eyes
Have shed a thousand tears and long for Paradise
I’ll see the morning sun rise across an Irish Sky
Through Irish Eyes
These Irish Eyes
Are growing weary as her shores come into sight
Please Pay the Piper and put pennies over my-
My Irish Eyes
