Irish Eyes - The Piano Version
My mother says I have Irish eyes
Irish eyes, Irish eyes
My mother says I have Irish eyes
They go ever so blue under stormy skies
But they're never so blue as when I let them cry
My father says I have English hair
English hair, English hair
Brown like the bark of an oak somewhere
Like the bed of a lake where the hemlock grows
Like the thorn in the stem of an English rose
I'm a map of the world and the one's before
One foot in sea and one on shore
Every step every hope flung high
I'm a map of them all with my Irish eyes
My nanna says I have travelling feet
Travelling feet, travelling feet
Slippers for princesses don't fit me
But I dance to my own drum bright and bold
And my travelling feet always get me home
My sister says I've a restless soul
Restless soul, restless soul
Easy to catch but I'm hard to hold
Like a song on the wind that you caught one day
I get under your skin then I slip away
I'm a map of the world and the one's before
One foot in sea and one on shore
Every step every hope flung high
I'm a map of them all with my Irish eyes
My mother says I have Irish eyes
Irish eyes, Irish eyes
My mother says I have Irish eyes
They go ever so blue
'Cause I'm a map of the world and the one's before
One foot in sea and one on shore
Every step every hope flung high
I'm a map of them all with my Irish eyes
Irish eyes, Irish eyes
My mother says I have Irish eyes
They go ever so blue under stormy skies
But they're never so blue as when I let them cry
My father says I have English hair
English hair, English hair
Brown like the bark of an oak somewhere
Like the bed of a lake where the hemlock grows
Like the thorn in the stem of an English rose
I'm a map of the world and the one's before
One foot in sea and one on shore
Every step every hope flung high
I'm a map of them all with my Irish eyes
My nanna says I have travelling feet
Travelling feet, travelling feet
Slippers for princesses don't fit me
But I dance to my own drum bright and bold
And my travelling feet always get me home
My sister says I've a restless soul
Restless soul, restless soul
Easy to catch but I'm hard to hold
Like a song on the wind that you caught one day
I get under your skin then I slip away
I'm a map of the world and the one's before
One foot in sea and one on shore
Every step every hope flung high
I'm a map of them all with my Irish eyes
My mother says I have Irish eyes
Irish eyes, Irish eyes
My mother says I have Irish eyes
They go ever so blue
'Cause I'm a map of the world and the one's before
One foot in sea and one on shore
Every step every hope flung high
I'm a map of them all with my Irish eyes
