Jonny Lang - 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 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 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 The 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 'til i laid eyes on her agian So beatiful 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 I know i never knew A love as strong as this Or what it was to feel My own heart breaking So now i raise a gla** And then i'll 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
