Irish Angel Lyrics

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 a gentle Irish rain
I saw her in my mind my Irish angel
I wrote her back, but 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
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, 'till I laid eyes on her again
So beautiful 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

But oh 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 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
One just to dream of how things could have been
If I hadn't lost my Irish angel
