Irish Angel

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
