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 glass
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
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
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
There was no second letter
Just the silence of the snow
That fell around me
The day I let her go
Now she's found someone else
My Irish angel
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
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
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

I know what it is to love and loose and this song touches my heart very deeply. Its one of the most bittersweet love songs I have ever heard. I wish I could find a good version of it.
I love this song. Everytime I see Jonny Lang in concert this is the last song he plays and I cry every single time. It's just beautifully written.
