Sung by Annette Hanshaw 


My father was Irish, my mother was English

But the Irish has the upper hand in me

And speakin' of Irish people and things

How'd ya like an Irish melody?


There's a light in your eyes, sweetheart darlin'

And it makes all the world fair and bright

Like the light in the skies, sweetheart darlin'

When the mornin' steals out of the night.


His lovelight is shinin' for someone

Sure I'm wondrin' just who it could be

My darlin'...


There's a light in your eyes, sweetheart darlin'

Tell me darlin', it's shinin' for me.


You're wonderful, you're glorious, and so my heart has air

Your island must be heaven

Because you came from there.


There's a light in your eyes, sweetheart darlin'

And it makes all the world fair and bright

Like a light in the skies, sweetheart darlin'

When the mornin' steals out of the night.


His lovelight is shinin' for someone

Sure I'm wondrin' just who it could be

My darlin'...


There's a light in your eyes, sweetheart darlin'

Tell me darlin', that light is shinin' just for me.
