Irish Eyes - Hank Locklin

The moonlight on the Shannon

Is a sight to see

The sunlight on Killarney’s lakes

Means home sweet home to me.

Of natures many blessings

On this emerald isle

I’d give them for the love-light

In your Irish eyes.

To stroll again through Antrim glen

And see the water fall

To sleep beneath the mystic hills

In dear old Donegal.

Or walk the shores of Erne

And hear the seagulls cry

But most of all to look into

Your smiling Irish eyes.

To hear again those Shandon Bells

Ringing heavenly

Beside the Lough and waters

Of the lovely Lee.

Or listen to the ocean

And the wind that sighs

But most of all to see again

Your lovely Irish eyes.

--- Instrumental ---

In dreams I see your angel’s wings

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 the teardrops

In your Irish eyes

I love you and I need you

Beautiful Irish eyes…
