This lovely song is just too pretty NOT to be in the archive... I heard it on the Trio CD and also on the Heart of a Woman CD from Dublin.

You'll Never Be The Sun By: Donagh Long

Chorus:

You'll never be the sun
turning in the sky
And you won't be the moon above us
on a 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

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 dark clouds gather
You will be the light

And if you lose the part inside
When loves turns round on you
Leaving the past behind
Is knowing you'll do like you always do
Holding you blind, keeping you true

Chorus:

repeat last line 3xs and out....

Aye, I second that! Have you heard Dolores Keane sing it? If not, you've got to get hold of it! It really makes my eyes water.

Yes, Dolores Keane sings it on the "Heart of a Woman" CD.

I have the chords, but I can't figure out the picking. (I'm a finger-picking toddler, still stumbling my way around...)
