Thank you for this recording ❤, it means alot to me. I'm honoring my mom who is Irish in my family, even I loss 22 years ago. This song brings a tear to my eyes and a smile too.🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
This is from the album 'Kate Smith: Songs of Erin.' As a kid we had it on 78 rpm records. Thanks for posting and I hope you upload more from this album.
There's a tear in your eye and I'm wondering why, For it never should be there at all; With such pow'r in your smile, sure a stone you'd beguile, So there's never a tear-drop should fall; When your sweet lilting laughter's like some fairy song, And your eyes twinkle bright as can be; You should laugh all the while and all other times, smile, And now smile a smile for me. Chorus: When Irish eyes are smiling, Sure it's like a morn in Spring, In the lilt of Irish laughter You can hear the angels sing. When Irish hearts are happy, All the world seems bright and gay, And when Irish eyes are smiling, Sure, they steal your heart away. Verse 2: For your smile is a part of the love in your heart, And it makes even sunshine more bright; Like the linnet's sweet song, crooning all the day long, Comes your laughter so tender and light; For the spring-time of life is the sweetest of all, There is ne'er a real care or regret; And while spring-time is ours throughout all of youth's hours, Let us smile each chance we get. (Chorus)
Thank you! I love my Irish green eyes.

Sue Sann said to listen to Kate's Irish songs. And Sue is right! Lovely, tender, and her voice is just beautiful!
At last, I found a recording with the opening verse that my Dad would sing to me. Thank you, thank, you, thank you!!!

I will hug you.
There's a tear in your eye and I'm wondering why,
For it never should be there at all;
With such pow'r in your smile, sure a stone you'd beguile,
So there's never a tear-drop should fall;
When your sweet lilting laughter's like some fairy song,
And your eyes twinkle bright as can be;
You should laugh all the while and all other times, smile,
And now smile a smile for me.
Chorus:
When Irish eyes are smiling,
Sure it's like a morn in Spring,
In the lilt of Irish laughter
You can hear the angels sing.
When Irish hearts are happy,
All the world seems bright and gay,
And when Irish eyes are smiling,
Sure, they steal your heart away.
Verse 2:
For your smile is a part of the love in your heart,
And it makes even sunshine more bright;
Like the linnet's sweet song, crooning all the day long,
Comes your laughter so tender and light;
For the spring-time of life is the sweetest of all,
There is ne'er a real care or regret;
And while spring-time is ours throughout all of youth's hours,
Let us smile each chance we get.
(Chorus)
