My 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 now how she wished I was now with her She wrote it on the hill, in the gentle Irish rain I saw her in my mind, my Irish angel I wrote her back and then There was no second letter Just the silence of the storm that fell around me I let her down, I know The day I let her go She's found someone else, my Irish angel When I first saw her, my heart went into spinning When they speak of love they call it falling It was like I held my breath until I laid eyes on her again Too beautiful, she was my Irish angel When aI stolen glance led to a stolen kiss I thought I knew the chance that I was takin And though I've never known a love as strong as this And what it was to feel my own heart breaking So now I raise a glass and then I raise another One to forget and one to remember Oh I wanted just to dream the way things could have been If I hadn't lost my Irish angel
