The Blessing - Celtic Woman (cover by Christy-Lyn Marais) with lyrics

Lyrics:

In the morning when you rise
I bless the sun, I bless the skies
I bless your lips, I bless your eyes
My blessing goes with you

In the nighttime when you sleep
Oh I bless you while a watch I keep
As you lie in slumber deep
My blessing goes with you

This is my prayer for you
There for you, ever true
Each, every day for you
In everything you do

And when you come to me
And hold me close to you
I bless you
And you bless me, too

When your weary heart is tired
If the world would leave you uninspired
When nothing more of love's desired
My blessing goes with you

When the storms of life are strong
When you're wounded, when you don't belong
When you no longer hear my song
My blessing goes with you

This is my prayer for you
There for you, ever true
Each, every day for you
In everything you do

And when you come to me
And hold me close to you
I bless you
And you bless me, too

**Written by David Downes, originally performed by Celtic Woman.

Absolutely wonderful. Not worse than Celtic Woman version.

That is one beautiful version of a fantastic Celtic Woman song. You both sing it and play it with great feeling and skill. I have just uploaded a version too - I used a synth module to get some strings sounds as well plus did an - ahem - impression of Sean Connery talking the words! See what you make of my version too! watch?v=8o2It1FRAPQ

@20031200 Thanks for the request! Send me a link, I'll take a listen and see what I think :)

I have a request if at all possible. I first heard this song sung(youtube) at the wedding of Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden on June 19, 2010. This song is "Resting Blissfully In Your Arms". composed by Benny Andersson. This song was sung in Swedish, would love to hear you sing it in English though.

You are gorgeous! ;-)
