A Little Bit of Heaven

There's a dear old land of leprechauns
 And wondrous wishing wells
 And nowhere else on God's green Earth
 There be such lakes and dells
 No wonder that the angels love
 That shamrock covered shore
 It draws my heart home again
 And I love it more and more
 Have you ever heard the story of
 How Ireland got its name
 Well, I'll tell you so you'll understand
 From whence old Ireland came
 No wonder that I love
 That dear old land across the sea
 For here's the way my dear old Father
 Told the tale to me
 Sure, a little bit of heaven fell
 From out the sky one day
 And it nestled on the ocean
 In a spot so far away
 And when the angels found it
 Sure, it looked so sweet and fair
 They said, "Suppose we leave it
 For it looks so peaceful there"
 So they sprinkled it with stardust
 Just to make the shamrocks grow
 'Tis the only place you'll find them
 No matter where you go
 Then they dotted it with silver
 To make its lakes so grand
 And when they had it finished
 Sure, they called it Ireland!
