Lyrics:

Lay down your head and I'll sing you a lullaby
Back to the years of loo-li lai-lay
And I'll sing you to sleep and I'll sing you tomorrow
Bless you with love for the road that you go

May you sail far to the far fields of fortune
With diamonds and pearls at your head and your feet
And may you need never to banish misfortune
May you find kindness in all that you meet

May there always be angels to watch over you
To guide you each step of the way
To guard you and keep you safe from all harm
Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay

May you bring love and may you bring happiness
Be loved in return to the end of your days
Now fall off to sleep, I'm not meaning to keep you
I'll just sit for a while and sing loo-li, lai-lay

May there always be angels to watch over you
To guide you each step of the way
To guard you and keep you safe from all harm
Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay

Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay...

You truly have a gift! Never stop singing, no matter where your voice settles. Your songs will always be beautiful.

2023 came and went and I’m excited for 2024. It’s a new year, with new challenges and from here we will always look forward and rarely, if ever, will we look back 😊 There will be new songs but more and more I will have to work round harder exams and a lot more schoolwork! Oh yeah!!
THANK YOU very much for all your support, I am so very grateful and as I look to the future, whatever that might hold, I wish you and your families all the very best for the year ahead 🥰🥰

What a beautiful version of this song. And a privilege to hear this deeper, warmer Cormac. But sweet boy your voice is going to go through many changes yet and you will need to be patient and allow it to happen. How exciting to not know whether you will turn out a tenor, baritone or bass (or even a counter-tenor). And if you take care now then one day in the not so distant future you will return to us with your “new” voice and thrill us with your singing. I hope 2024 brings you lots of exciting adventures and plenty of happiness and fun xxxx

I loved Sleepsong from Lord of the Rings on your CD. Especially the harmonies at the beginning. And your transitions from lower to higher pitches is smooth and spot-on all through the piece. Dynamics were just right. And I really liked your duet with yourself at the end. What more can I say than I get a warm, heartfelt feeling from your singing. Thank you. 🙏

Ahh Cormac, just such stunning tones, and selfish of me to want to encapsulate this unique voice and keep it going for ever. At least we have these delicious recordings to recall the wonder. xx

Thank you for sharing your gift and talents with all of us! Your songs are considered magic in our family as playing your songs will instantly get our newborn son to stop crying. He immediately stops and listens so consumed and engaged by your voice. Wishing you health and happiness in the new year! Cheers!

[PanopticonK]

Thank you, Cormac, for your many videos, shorts, posts, and stories in 2023 and earlier. May 2024 be the best year ever for you and your family🤗🥰.

Your musical director and technical audio producer did an amazing job in seemlessly moving from one voice to another as if you were multiple singers singing it at the same time, not compiling and connecting the music with different recordings.

[rainastor]

this is like a prayer for my father who is dying. My sister just sent it to me. It's beyond beautiful.

[svenlinnanilsson]

Beautiful in every sense of the word.❤

[chrislatty]

Beautiful Cormac. There is a lovely clarity to your voice, but there was always warmth as well. I’m looking forward to supporting you through the change in your voice.
