[Verse 1] March seventeenth, the pub is packed Shamrocks on the wall, leprechaun hats I raise my pint, the color's neon bright But my heart's still broken from last night [Chorus] There's a tear in my green beer Falling slow, crystal clear While the bagpipes wail and the crowd cheers loud I'm drowning sorrows in this emerald cloud Sláinte to the memories that won't disappear There's a tear… in my green beer [Verse 2] Me Beau said "goodbye" with a shamrock kiss Left me with nothing but this empty bliss Everyone's dancing, singing loud I'm sitting here crying in the crowd [Bridge] Irish eyes were smiling once upon a time Now they're leaking like a busted line One more pint, maybe it'll mend Or maybe I'll just cry till the bitter end other Irish eyes may be smilin' as for mine, they're cryin' [Chorus (repeat)] There's a tear in my green beer Falling slow, crystal clear To the ones we loved and the ones we lost Raise your glass, no matter the cost Sláinte to the heartache that brought us here There's a tear… in my green beer
