If I Sing You A Love Song.

Lyrics: British songwriter and music manager Steve Wolfe and songwriter and producer Ronnie Scott.
Vocals: Gaynor Sullivan (née Hopkins), known professionally as Bonnie Tyler.

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.

Revenue Processes €26.7m In Tax Adjustments Following Reviews Of Worker Classification.

The Revenue Commissioners have processed gross tax adjustments totalling €26.7 million arising from cases where workers were incorrectly treated as self-employed rather than employees.

Revenue said 280 voluntary disclosures were made, covering more than 6,600 employees. The disclosures relate to situations where some businesses classified staff as self-employed contractors when, in practice, the individuals should have been on payroll as employees.

Revenue Chairperson Mr Niall Cody is scheduled to appear before the Oireachtas Public Accounts Committee on today, where he is expected to outline the findings and the compliance activity behind them.

Mr Cody is also due to highlight that, while misclassification has long been a known compliance risk, the Supreme Court decision in Revenue Commissioners V Karshan, in October 2023 has significantly altered the operating environment for employers. The case, commonly referred to as the Domino’s Pizza delivery drivers judgment, upheld Revenue’s position that the workers involved were employees rather than independent contractors.

The ruling has been widely viewed as a landmark moment in addressing bogus self-employment, where individuals carry out work comparable to employees but without access to standard employment protections and benefits such as paid leave, sick pay and pension contributions. Historically, the issue has been particularly associated with sectors including construction and media.
