_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
There is a tear in your eye and you're wondering why
For it never should be that I saw [Bb] the power of your smile
_ [Ab] And there is never a [A] tear that I should [Bb] saw
With [Eb] your sweet little sing laughter like some fairy song
And your eyes sparkling bright as can [Ab] be
[D] You should laugh all the while and all of the time [C] smile
How about quite a [Db] while [Bb] for me _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [Ab] It's like a [Eb] moment in spring [Ab] with a little Irish laughter
[F] You can hear the [Bb] angels sing
When Irish hearts [Eb] are happy [Ab] all the world seems [Eb] bright and gay
And when [Gb] Irish eyes [Bb] are smiling _
_ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [N] _
_ _ _ you're a far [Bb] _ _
_ _ [Eb] away
There _ [Ab] is [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
a part of the cup in your hand and it makes even time all bright
[Bb]
Like the little sweet song singing [C] all the day [F] long
Comes your laughter so tender [C]
and _ [Eb] bright
So the springtime of youth is the [Bb] sweetest of all
There is [Eb] never a care or [Ab] regret
[B] So while springtime is all [Bb] throughout all of youth's hours
[C] Let's ride it like [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] a [Eb] moment in [Ab] spring with a little Irish [Cm] _
_ [F] laughter
You can hear the [Bb] angels sing
When Irish [Eb] hearts are happy [Ab] all the world seems [Eb] bright and gay
[Db] And _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] when Irish eyes [Dm] are smiling [Bb] you're a far away _ _
