You'll Never Be The Sun

You'll never be the sun turning in the sky
And you won't be the moon above us on the moonlit night
And you won't be the stars in heaven although they burn so bright
But even on the deepest ocean you will be the light

And if you lose the part inside when love turns 'round on you
Leaving the past behind is knowing you'll do like you always do
Holding you blind
Keeping you true

You may not always shine as you go barefoot over stone
You might be so long together or you might walk alone
And you won't find that love comes easy
But that love is always right
So even when the storm clouds gather you will be the light

Beautiful rendition.... i am gobsmacked... just wow. I had an Irish friend who sang this acapella with her sisters 25 to 30 years ago in my small home studio, and this lady sings it just like her. She has to have heard my friend Teressa sing it before.

Honestly the best rendition of this song and I love the original Dolores Keane version. I wish I can find more of this band and singer!

Beautiful, perfect soundtrack for the Pandemic when many have lost loved ones.

Beautiful voice and great music especially the Ash Plant

"You'll Never Be the Sun" written by Irish songwriter Donagh Long in 1994

I love that you can hear her Irish accent and she's not putting on an American twang like most when they sing.

Would like to hear her sing this in the arms of a cello, rather than over a "trying to be gentle" piano.

I just dont like piano or keyboard in Irish trad, for me it just doesnt sound right
