In the fall of the year She flew across the ocean To ireland, the land of her fathers When we said goodbye, A tear was in her eye I lost her then and there My irish angel
The first letter came She said she loved it there And how much she wished I was there with her She wrote it on a hill In the gentle irish rain I saw her in my mind My irish angel
I wrote her back and then There was no second letter Just the silence of the snow That fell around me
I let her down I know The day I let her go Now she’s found someone else My irish angel
The first time I saw her My heart went in a spin When they speak of love They call it falling It was like I held my breath ’til I laid eyes on her agian So beatiful she was My irish angel
And when a stolen glance Led to a stolen kiss I thought I knew the Chance that I was taking I know I never knew A love as strong as this Or what it was to feel My own heart breaking
So now I raise a glass And then I’ll raise another One to forget One to remember And one just to dream Of how things could have been If I hadn’t lost my irish angel
