I kept looking above the trees,
further than the fields
Home skies crying to the waving of the leaves
You can give it to your faith or wear it on your sleeve
Will you be the one who stays or creeps?
Ooh,
there's a silence that calls you from the dark
Ooh,
there's a wildness
beats inside your heart
And the closest thing to heaven is you when I look in your Irish eyes
And the closest thing to heaven is
you as we dance under starlit skies
Choirs of angels sing so loud Jericho's bells are ringing out
Cause the closest thing to heaven is you when I look in your
Irish eyes
It's the breaking of the waves on an endless beach
The rolling
hills of the bottle and peas
Lying in the grass on the wet ground
Where the roads rise up from God's land
Ooh,
there's a silence that calls you from the dark
Ooh,
there's a wildness
beats inside your heart
And the closest thing to heaven is you when I look in your Irish eyes
And the closest thing to heaven is
you as we dance under starlit skies
Choirs of angels sing so loud
Jericho's bells are ringing out
And the closest thing to heaven is you when I look in your Irish eyes
