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 liked it there and how much she wished i was there with her she wrote it on a hill in a gentle irish way 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 storming glance lead to a storming kiss i thought i knew the chance that i was taking in all i never knew a love as strong as this or what it was to feel my own heart breaking so now i raise the glass and then i raise another one to forget one to remember it was just a dream of how things could of been if i hadn't lost my irish angel
