This song is one of my favorites, now all too relevant. With cardiopulmonary issues and coronavirus around, I'd like to think that the end will bring with reunion with loved ones who've "crossed to the other side."

The song is often regarded is a traditional Irish song but in fact it was written by John Conolly from Cleethorpes in England, here for comparison is John himself singing his song ua-cam.com/video/_E_yY-xJDx4/v-deo.html
