Jonny Lang My Irish Angel Lyrics

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
everything
And how much she wished I was there with her
She wrote it on
the hill, and then I shared her Irish rain
The summer in my mind, my Irish
angel
I wrote her back and 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

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 'til I laid eyes on her again
So
beautiful, she was my Irish angel
And when the storm at last, turned to a
stormy kiss
I thought I knew the chance that I was takin
And all I never
knew, 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 and one to remember
And one just to dream, of how things could have
been,
If I hadn't lost my Irish angel
