Irish Eyes - The Wolfe Tones

My rose of Old Erin my Kathleen mo mhuirnín

Your eyes they could light many mantles of love

For there in your eyes is the dew of the morning

You’ve taken the light from the sky high above

You’ve captured the blue from the violets empty

You’ve borrowed your smile from the sun in the sky

For you are a rogue and your thievings extensive

You had stolen my heart with your true Irish Eyes

Irish eyes were smiling

Irish eyes beguiling

Eyes that gleam with love my dear

Could light the skies above

Eyes of heavens splendour

Eyes so warm and tender

Brighter sparks than all of the stars

Are those Irish eyes of love

Eyes of heavens splendour

Eyes so warm and tender

Brighter sparks than all of the stars

Are those Irish eyes of love

Of the flowers of the forest there are none to compare to

The flower that has captured my heart in this way

For there in your smile so warm and so tender

You’ve taken the heart from the flowers in May

You’ve captured the blue from the bluebells in springtime

You’ve borrowed your blush from the Rose in the briar

For you are a rogue and your thievings extensive

You had stolen my heart with your true Irish Eyes

Irish eyes were smiling

Irish eyes beguiling

Eyes that gleam with love my dear

Could light the skies above

Eyes of heavens splendour

Eyes so warm and tender

Brighter sparks than all of the stars

Are those Irish eyes of love

Eyes of heavens splendour

Eyes so warm and tender

Brighter sparks than all of the stars

Are those Irish eyes of love
