An effervescent smile with stubbornness of mind

Didn't take it 'til you said that you were done

The day came all too soon as you watched your bride and groom

Combined like river flowing into sea

And all along the west coast, I see fire

Retreating to the ocean where it dies

We won't forget the bloom behind your eyes

Iris, Iris

Shedding all you had, you laughed loud and you sang

You loved it when we played on your piano

You were a guiding light, reaching hundreds of miles

For my sister and I

And all along the west coast, I see fire

Retreating to the ocean where it dies

We won't forget the bloom behind your eyes

Iris, Iris, Iris
