'Heaven knows no frontiers and I 've seen heaven in your eyes'. If there were no other words in this song that would be enough. Listen to Mary sing it like it is and make immediate connection with your soul.
Here for a public performance and
here for the studio version but Mary in her day (not today alas!) could shoot you down with one note at ten paces. I saw her with her band in her prime and surely I saw heaven. From the band not a note out of place. Her voice measured yet passionate if that's possible. Do yourself a favour, get to know her work and the body of Irish music out there. You'll be glad you did.
Here is an alternate version from the Corrs, the song stands up well without Mary.
