Wolfe Tones - Irish Eyes lyrics

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
