Song Lyrics:
(Adapted from a poem written by Joanna Bainbridge – yep, my daughter)
Hazel Eyes
Vs1
He stands above the crowd, He brings them all alive
He’s flamboyant and loud, The man with hazel eyes.
He sings a clever song, And plays a catchy tune.
They might be short or long, But they get you in the mood.
CH
An Irish man he is, Though he lives in foreign lands.
He makes the music his I’m proud he is my dad.
His fire lights the room, It’s clear for all to spy
“The party’s starting soon” Says the man with hazel eyes.
Bridge
So come all, come all Watch the dancers jig
So drink all, drink all the night is always big
You know all, know all By the sparkle in his eye
You’ll clap all, clap all For the man with hazel eyes
Vs 2
Your toes will soon be tapping To the cheery tune he plays
your eyes will soon be crying by the tender words he says
you cannot fight the power and the magic in his word
upon the stage he towers His stories to be heard
CH
An Irish man he is, Though he lives in foreign lands.
He makes the music his I’m proud he is my dad.
His fire lights the room, It’s clear for all to spy
“The party’s starting soon” Says the man with hazel eyes.
Vs 3
The pub-owner cheers his name As flocks pile inside
“I’m so glad you all came” Says the man with hazel eyes
He takes his fee when done though it matters not to him
when his last song is sung he carries a glow within.
CH
An Irish man he is, Though he lives in foreign lands.
He makes the music his I’m proud he is my dad.
His fire lights the room, It’s clear for all to spy
“The party’s starting soon” Says the man with hazel eyes.
Bridge
So come all, come all Watch the dancers jig
So drink all, drink all the night is always big
You know all, know all By the sparkle in his eye
You’ll clap all, clap all For the man with hazel eyes
