The Eyes That Come From Ireland

Topics: classic

Don't you love the eyes that come from Ireland?         The grey-blue eyes so strangely grey and blue,             The fighting loving eyes,             The eyes that tell no lies -     Don't you love the eyes that come from Ireland?     Don't you love the eyes that come from Ireland?         The dreaming mocking eyes that see you through,     The eyes that smile and smile,             With the heart-break all the while, -     Don't you love the eyes that come from Ireland?     Don't you love the eyes that come from Ireland?         The eyes that hate of England made so blue,             The mystic eyes that see             More than Saxon you and me -     Don't you love the eyes that come from Ireland?
