- I had a request for this song and I'm so glad it came through. It's a beautiful piece that I couldn't wait to learn and since today is the first day in a week I've not been coughing, I figured it was time!
One take cover means just that, one take, no overdubs. The fiddle parts are just improvisations, each take so when they come together, it's a bit of a miracle!

A fitting finale for the year in which Mr Whittaker left us. Thank you.
Beautifully done ❤. Such a soothing voice.
Thank you Alice!
Your rendition of this lovely song brought tears to my eyes. Beautifully done thank you.
Thank you so much Harold :)
Wonderful! Roger Whitaker would be proud of your presentation.
Thank you so much, it's such a beautiful song, I'm grateful to have it to sing!
Really enjoy you content. It is pure and honest artistry. Beautiful.
Thank you so much Jonathan :)
Yes - that was beautiful. And - a great choice in song. It's been a long time since I've heard this song. 👏🏻😊🥂🙏.
I can't believe how much it moved me. This will be in my repertoire forever now, it's a perfect song.
Love the simplicity you bring to this song. Really nice. In the early 80s I'd visit my grandma and grandpa outside of Hilo HI and the radio station had this in their rotation. So, it always reminds me of beautiful HI and my grandparents. Thanks!!
What a sweet memory, thanks for sharing that.
Amazing song not heard enough. Classy respectful cover.
Thank you Charlie!
Truly beautiful. Oh my your voice and expression. Thank you!
Thank you Ben and thank you for listening :)
Beautiful songs. You did a great job with it! Thank you
Loved the instrumental back-up
Thanks John!
Perfect!
Takes me back to 1985 working on Radio KOST on the Riviera. That was a epic year and this song was in our regular play rotation.
Awesome!
This was played at my Mums funeral 🇬🇧🇬🇧
I hope the song brings back happy memories of your Mum.
I did, thank you
I found you by accident but how glad am I that I did, Tara. You are a special talent. Thank you for this one.
This song is new to many, due to its age. You do a wonderful job with the Gretch. It was so powerful to ME, I am surprised it has not been released by someone else, commercially. Bravo, Ma'am.
Thank you so much Mark!
I am not really into Roger but the way you sing it.....I just sit here an listen....ok, in thoughts do I play Bass. Yer voice is....special....professional.
Thanks! I've never listening to him before but this song I find very moving. Lovely melody and lyrics, a joy to sing!
Your voice...your musical prowess and your choice of song(s)...brings back my days of youth---with all the passion and angst of my yester-years; Both sad and beautiful.
And as a lie here, pushing 70 with nothing left to do---'cept watch my country--- and my son, go off to war...I thank you for the memories of both Love And War.
Peace.

Well done! Thanks for sharing. All the best for the new year. From Connecticut USA
Wonderful in every way.
Sheko:li Tara, that was beautifully done.
My mothers all time fav song, thank you, well done
❤ BRILLIANT, EXCELLENT LOVE IT RAY TWELVE STRINGS U.K 🎉
VERY WELL DONE.. never heard anyone but RW sing it..
Thank you so much!
That was lovely, and in one take too. The strings are an excellent touch as well.
Ex Royal Navy, the words are fitting for my first ship HMS Plymouth she brought me back home in 1982, I was 18.
What an adventure you must have had.
@@TaraDunphy We did, not quite sure I thought it an adventure at the time, but we did the job. Your voice is amazing.
Brilliant version - well done Tara - I too play this on the guitar but my voice not as good as your version. I reckon you could try 'New World in the Morning' another by Roger Whittaker would suit your voice.
Beautiful
Such a great tune you picked!. I love your voice and accompaniment on guitar. The song has such a wonderful story line and melody. I cannot believe how many of your songs are songs I sing too. .
Beautiful song great job thanks
A beautiful song that I haven't heard in a while! I have the sheet music and used to play it although I never performed it live! Great job once again!
Thank you! I can't believe I went so long never hearing this song, it's gorgeous.
That was great...!
I love that song...what a gift it is to hear and know it.
Cheers
It is such a great song! Thanks for listening :)
I check for new songs by you every day. Happy New Year, Tara!
Just so you know, thank you, awesome.
Thank you for listening!
One I've wanted to cover, but I could never do it anywhere near the justice you have.
I'd love to hear your version!
Operative word being "wanted to" :) I really don't have the performing chops to pull it off. I love the song though, and you knock it out of the park, Tara. Really nicely done, and what a voice! Cheers. @@TaraDunphy
👍❣️
Wow...bravo...so moving

Simple and impressive at the same time.
Wonderful.

My gosh what a song!!!
Angelic voice ❤
Well done Tara you sang the song so well👍
Will listen on repeat.
Beautiful 🎵
Thank you!
Where did you find Violin players? They look just like you! Uncanny.
Ha!
So beautiful ❤
Such beauty ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Never heard a female simg this song before. As usual you have put your stamp of talent upon it. I noticed the framed photos on your wall. I thought I recognized Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn. Had to zoom in on the other photo. Quickly I saw it was Wanda Jackson. She was my favorite country singer growing up. I have I beleive most of her albums. In the near future I will request a spg or two if it is ok with you.😊😊😊
Yep, that's absolutely fine with me. I love Wanda. I was lucky enough to play in her band for over ten years when she would play up in Canada, right up until her retirement. She's a wonderful person and entertainer.
I love listening to your songs. Hope you don't mind me asking but would it be possible to see the chords you are playing on future videos. Many thanks.
Yes! I've actually changed my set up for recent videos, this is a common request and I wasn't even thinking about it when I filmed the other ones. If you check out the newer ones, you should be able to see my errors very clearly lol
Thank you. This is much appreciated.@@TaraDunphy
Your singing is becoming addictive. Your fans are falling in love with you as I told one of your commenters. If you don't think so , check out all of the comments.❤❤❤
Just found this. Amazing! Do you have tabs for this arrangement? I would love to play this.
I don't actually have a chart for it, I just figured it out by ear. Good luck!
I left you a comment about this being my mothers favorite song. There was nothing there for my comment to be deleted.. Was it you or is you tube up to its old tricks. I left a comment on another singers site saying what a beautiful song. Thats all i said and you tube deleted it . The singer told me they had not deleted it. Just curious if that was the reason. Its happening a lot apparently.
Hi James, I don't delete any comments, so I don't know what happened there. Thanks for stopping by, I hope you're enjoying the music :)
Tara calling anyone or anything beautiful =pot calling the kettle black.
Sounds great!
Nice Cover Song 🎸
