the moonlight on the shining is a sight to see
the sunlight on killarney's lake
means home sweet home to me
of nature's many blessings on this emerald isle
i'd give them all to see again your smiling irish eyes
to stroll again through antrim's glens
and see the waterfall
to sleep beneath the mystic hills in dear old donegal
or walk the shores of erin and hear the seagulls cry
but most of all to look into your lovely irish eyes
to hear again those shandon bells ringing heavenly
beside the laughing waters of the lovely leave
oh listen to the ocean and the wind that sighs
but most of all to see again your smiling irish eyes
in dreams i see your angel face
that aches my lonely heart
the memory when i told you we would have to part
i can't forget that morning when we said goodbye
i can't forget those teardrops in your irish eyes
i love you and i need you my lovely irish eye
