too bad about the previous comments. My wife and I choose this for our wedding service back in 1986. Still timeless. It just happens we got married in a country church in a small town in a valley with a river running through it. (mill long gone). I play this every anniversary, and when the wife is not looking. The priest had to review it back in those days and liked it soo much he was going to try and make it a hymn. Not sure what ever happened.
Such a beautiful song my daughter is getting married in this year & has picked this song for her entrance hymn sadly her Dad RIP will be with her in spirit so it will have double remembrance
Man exactly what I thought. But thats not the players fault. And than a choir with no mics. Typical. And those girls singing their souls out their bodies. But besides Chris is such a nice guy and a great artist, isnt he.
And how many trained singers have we heard perfectly in tune but devoid of heart and soul...take that cork stopper out of your bottom and start to live..there is nothing worse in life than meeting a constipated brain..do you now recognise yourself ?

Chris de Burgh's most beautiful song. Could listen to it all day

I hope the priest made the right decision and accepted Chris De Burghs beautiful song!

This song is amazing! We had it in church for our wedding, just played by two guitars, and it was great!

So beautiful... Sigh....
I agree. Simply Beautiful.
Thank you Chris de Burgh.....beautiful
Lyrics
In a country churchyard there's a preacher with his people,
Gathered all around to join a man and woman,
Spring is here and turtledoves are singing from the steeple,
Bees are in the flowers, growing in the graveyard,
And over the hill, where the river meets the mill,
A lovely girl is coming down,
To give her hand upon her wedding day
Dressed in simple white and wearing flowers in her hair,
Music as she walks slowly to the altar,
And picking up his bible then the preacher turns towards her,
"Will you take this man to be your wedded husband,
To honor and love in the eyes of God above,
Now let the people sing with me,
These words to live forever in your heart
Let your love shine on,
For we are the stars in the sky,
Let your love shine strong,
Until the day you fly away"
Many years have fallen on that golden country morning,
The graveyard's overgrown, the church lies in ruins,
Ivy on the walls and ravens wheeling round above me,
As I made my way towards the last remaining headstone,
I fell to my knees, read the lines beneath the leaves,
And suddenly it seemed to me,
I heard the words like singing in the trees
Let your love shine on,
For we are the stars in the sky,
Let your love shine strong,
Until the day you fly
Let your love shine on,
For we are the stars in the sky,
Let your love shine strong,
Until the day you fly away

@BethColli10
The music of the chorus is very close to that of his great Christmas piece "A Spaceman Came Travelling"
a legend
as always chris is amazing why not sir chris
Better chance of the Corrs accepting honours and they refused to sing God save the queen at the Royal variety performance
❤❤❤
Wow❤️

@SucculentCarol Thanks for the comment. It's all the better for being live!
@canadianundertaker how beautiful - thanks for the comment!
The chord sequence is very similar to Spaceman came travelling if that helps. x
@Krystaltipps no worries - hope it bought back some great memories!!
Das Video wurde an Weiberfastnacht aufgenommen ... Beweis bei 1:11
the saxophon is totally destroying the song!!
+didigoldman you are right what was he thinking ?
Man exactly what I thought. But thats not the players fault. And than a choir with no mics. Typical. And those girls singing their souls out their bodies. But besides Chris is such a nice guy and a great artist, isnt he.
Exactly
Omfg i couldnt agree more i mean like wtf is he doing back there
Wtf was that all about, it doest even fit!! The producer needs taking outside for a good shoeing.
Great song but this clip is over produced
Beautiful song the saxophone solo 🤣 loose it ffs 🤦♂️
Pity he can't sing even remotely in tune!
And how many trained singers have we heard perfectly in tune but devoid of heart and soul...take that cork stopper out of your bottom and start to live..there is nothing worse in life than meeting a constipated brain..do you now recognise yourself ?
