Lyrics

I can See Ireland In Her Eyes
Roy Hurd

I’ve not stood upon the shores of the sweet Shannon
Watched her waters flow down Lough Ree way
Donegal or County Claire no I’ve never set foot there
Or watched the sun go down on Galway Bay
To smell the bloom of heather in the salty air
On the breeze that blows across that emerald isle
Ah but when I see her smile

Chorus:
I’m there in Tipperary green hills all around
Down in County Kerry or way up in County Down
On the Lakes of Killarney with waters clear and cool
As the clouds float across the shamrock sky
When she laughs and when she cries
I can see Ireland in her eyes

One day we will cross that wide blue ocean
Step out on the shores of Ireland
Hand in hand her and me we’ll see all there is to see
Like orphan children coming home again
Ah but if it never happens
If that day never comes
I could not feel sorrow if I try
I’ve already been there in her eyes

There in Tipperary green hills all around
Down in County Kerry or way up in County Down
On the Lakes of Killarney waters clear and cool
As the clouds float across the shamrock sky
When she laughs and when she cries
I can see Ireland in her eyes

I’m There in Tipperary green hills all around
In Cork to kiss the blarney stone
Or way up in Belfast town
On the shores North of Dublin lookin out to sea
As the wind sings an In Ish lullaby
When she laughs and when she cries
I can see Ireland in her eyes
When she laughs or when she cries
I can see Ireland in her eyes
