SONG LYRICS

On dear Ireland I was
with nigh one reason I could find
there but only just because
to look into Shannon's eyes

and so they gaze upon mine own
and all the while I wonder how
'cause I thought I'd never know
the way I feel right now

CHORUS
When I look into Shannon's eyes
down her roads and merry ways
through the meadows and the sties
I hear the happy cries of the children where they play
When I look into Shannon's eyes
I know I'll never look away…

When I look into Shannon's eyes
I know I'll never look away…

On dear Ireland I was
with nigh one reason I could find
there but only just because
to look into Shannon's eyes…
