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.

That s great Deb, I m sure you guys needed that rain, now all sunny...mother nature just like a woman, can't make up her mind on how the weather shold go LOL.
The late news forecast said the storms had lessen. Well, the winds were loud and strong here, so thank goodness they were less! hehehe We got 1.5" and that was way plenty. The Shives river that runs thought our yard is holding a bit of water still today. Glad we are both safe!
