The When Irish Eyes Are Smiling
|
|
|
Once composer Ball discovered
early in his career that he had a special gift for creating heart-tugging ballads,
he never risked writing anything else. "People like songs they can take home to
themselves," he said, and obliged by rutning out such durable take-home pieces
as "Will You Love Me in December as Your Do in May?," "Mother Machree," and "Love
Me and the World Is Mine." Ball's lilting favorite, "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling,"
was first sung by the popular singing actor Chauncey Olcott, in the 1912 musical
play The Isle o'Dreams.
Words by Chauncey Olcott
and Geore Graff, Jr.
Music by Ernest R. Ball
When Irish Eyes Are Smiling,
Sure it's like a morn in Spring.
in the lilt of Irish laughter
You can here 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.
