Bonnie Tyler’s vocals on “If I Sing You a Love Song” show the emotional, husky style that became her signature. Released in 1978 on the album Natural Force, the song lets her voice carry both tenderness and sadness, giving the lyrics a warm but slightly aching feel. Her distinctive raspy tone, widely noted as a defining feature of her singing—adds depth and sincerity, making the performance feel intimate rather than overly polished.
If I Sing You A Love Song.
If I Sing You A Love Song.
If I sing you a love song, Will you always remember? Will you hear it on lonely nights, When I’m not around? If I sing you a love song, Will you hear it forever? To remind you how much I care, And how I needed you? Love songs last longer than lovers ever do, So, baby, let me sing a love song for you. Love songs don’t leave you, but lovers often do, Oh, baby, I’m afraid it could happen to me and you. If I sing you a love song, Let it always be with you, When the others have gone away, Let it still be there. Love songs last longer than lovers ever do, So, baby, let me sing a love song for you. Love songs don’t leave you, but lovers often do, Oh, baby, I’m afraid it could happen to me and you. Oh, oh, oh, Oh, lonely nights when I’m not around, Baby, it’s a love song, So always remember, On lonely nights. I’ll sing you a love song, To keep you close to me, I’ll sing you a love song.
Lyrics: Irish award winning singer-songwriter and musician Shunie Crampsey. Vocals: The wonderful successful Irish musical duo of Mick Foster and Tony Allen. (Foster & Allen).
“There’s a Blue Moon Over My World Without You” is a gentle, deeply emotional song about the quiet emptiness left when someone special is gone. Written as a tribute to a treasured friend, it speaks to shared chats, warm memories, and the feeling that life looks different after loss. It’s a song that has resonated widely in Irish communities because it puts grief and gratitude into simple, comforting words.

The song’s message now regularly appears and is acceptable during public moments of remembrance, (i.e. funerals), underlining how closely the song is associated with paying tribute to someone dearly loved and missed.
There’s a Blue Moon Over My World Without You
I can only say the pleasure has been mine, For at least I got to know you for a time, But now you’re gone I don’t know what I’ll do, There’s a blue moon over my world without you.
Each time we meet just sit and talk a while, And things they seem much better with your smile, When I think of all the things that you’ve been through, There’s a blue moon over my world without you.
The stars will shine much brighter in the heavens now you’re there, Each time I think about you I say a silent prayer. I’ve lost a special friend so warm and true, And there’s a blue moon over my world without you.
To each and every one comes judgement day, Where all you take is what you gave away, You gave so much to everyone that’s true, And there’s a blue moon over my world without you.
The stars will shine much brighter in the heavens now you’re there, Each time I think about you I say a silent prayer, I’ve lost a special friend so warm and true, And there’s a blue moon over my world without you.
Goodbye my special friend so warm and true, There’s a blue moon over this world without you.
Alongside the famous early versions of “Help Me Make It Through the Night”; written by the late Kris Kristofferson, Anne Murray also put her own warm, clear stamp on the song, recording it for her album “Country Croonin”, released back on October 22nd, 2002.

A beloved Canadian vocalist known for her smooth, comforting delivery across country and pop, Ms Murray approaches the lyric less like a bar-room confession and more like a gentle, late-night request for closeness, proof that this classic can feel just as powerful when it’s sung softly as when it’s sung raw.
Help Me Make It Through The Night.
Help Me Make It Through The Night.
Take the ribbon from my hair, Shake it loose and let it fall, Lay it soft against your skin, Like the shadow on the wall. Come and lie down by my side, ‘Til the early morning light, All I’m takin’ is your time, Help me make it through the night. I don’t care what’s right or wrong, And I won’t try to understand, Let the devil take tomorrow, Lord, tonight I need a friend. Yesterday is dead and gone, And tomorrow’s out of sight, And it’s sad to be alone, Help me make it through the night. I don’t care what’s right or wrong, And I won’t try to understand, Let the devil take tomorrow, ‘Cause tonight I need a friend. Yesterday is dead and gone, And tomorrow’s out of sight, And it’s sad to be alone, Help me make it through the night. I don’t want to be alone, Help me make it through the night. END
“She’s a Mystery to Me” is a song written by Bono and The Edge of Band U2 and recorded by American rock legend, singer, songwriter and guitarist, the late Roy Kelton Orbison, (1936–1988). It was released in 1989 as a single from Orbison’s Mystery Girl album, his final release, and features Orbison’s signature emotive vocals on a dreamy, romantic track penned by the U2 members.

Recognizing the song’s potential, Bono and The Edge developed it as a tribute to Orbison’s timeless style. Orbison later recorded the song with Bono producing, adding his signature vocal depth to its dreamy, mysterious lyrics about love’s elusive nature.
She’s A Mystery To Me.
She’s A Mystery To Me.
Darkness falls and she will take me by the hand, Take me to some twilight land, Where all but love is grey, Where I can’t find my way, Without her as my guide. Night falls I’m cast beneath her spell, Daylight comes our heaven turns to hell, Am I left to burn and burn eternally, She’s a mystery to me. She’s a mystery girl. She’s a mystery girl. In the night of love words tangled in her hair, Words soon to disappear. A love so sharp it cut, Like a switchblade to my heart, Words tearing me apart. She tears again my bleeding heart, I want to run she’s pulling me apart, Fallen angel cries and I just melt away, She’s a mystery to me. She’s a mystery girl. She’s a mystery girl. She’s a mystery girl. She’s a mystery girl. Haunted by her side it’s the darkness in her eyes, That so enslaves me. But if my love is blind, Then I don’t want to see, She’s a mystery to me. Night falls I’m cast beneath her spell, Daylight comes our heaven turns to hell, Am I left to burn and burn eternally, She’s a mystery to me. She’s a mystery girl. (repeated).
There’s something special on the way for Thurles, a proper live night out with a purpose at its heart; supporting “In Our Hands”, the re-roofing campaign to preserve our Cathedral of the Assumption, for generations to come.
We’re delighted to confirm that final plans for the music night are now almost concluded. While the final details are still being agreed, the spirit of the evening is already clear; community, music, and meaningful support for a cause that matters deeply, right across the Diocese of Cashel and Emly.
Those performing have very kindly committed to making this a night that keeps the campaign front and centre, and it’s being done in a particularly fitting way. The event will also mark a milestone year for the professional performers themselves, a moment that reflects years of gigs, hard work, and loyal audiences who kept showing up. Rather than celebrating quietly, they’ve chosen to share it in the best way possible; by helping the events committee restore Thurles Cathedral roof.
So what can people expect?
A professional live music night — Upbeat, Welcoming, and Community-focused for all age groups.
Clear ticketed fundraising on the night, with a chance to win major raffle prizes.
Confirmed updates coming soon in relation to date, venue and time.
In the meantime, please keep an eye out, spread the word, and if you can, bring a friend. Nights like this work best when the whole community gets behind them — because the best kind of anniversary isn’t just looking back. It’s giving something forward.
Tickets will cost €25.00. Come for the tunes, the atmosphere, and the shared sense of doing something worthwhile — all under the one roof, all pulling in the same direction.
