To celebrate our return with the music we love, I've invited along some special guests to join me on some of my favorite songs.
I hope you'll sing along with us.

I was incredibly lucky to be joined by the late great Charley Pride.
And Charley and I were blessed with a lovely friendship over the years, and I've admired him since I was just a young boy growing up here in Donegal.
And I was very lucky to get to know him, and they say you should never meet your heroes, but in this case he was everything that I thought he would be.
Well, it wouldn't be right to perform with Charley Pride without doing one of his biggest hits ever, "The Crystal Chandeliers."
♪ Oh, the crystal chandeliers ♪ ♪ light up the paintings on your wall ♪ ♪ The marble statuettes ♪ ♪ are standing stately in the hall ♪ ♪ But will the timely crowd ♪ ♪ that has you laughing loud ♪ ♪ help you dry your tears ♪ ♪ When the new wears off ♪ ♪ of your crystal chandeliers?

[cheering and applause] Now, my next guest, Lisa McHugh, is one of our greatest stars here in Ireland, one of the new stars, should I say, and she's bringing a whole new energy to the music business with some great new material.
But this next song is one of the classics we decided to sing together, "The Wind Beneath My Wings."
♪ ♪ ♪ It must have been cold there in my shadow ♪ ♪ ♪ To never have sunlight on your face ♪ ♪ ♪ You were content to let me shine ♪ ♪ ♪ You always walked a step behind ♪ ♪ ♪ I was the one with all the glory ♪ ♪ ♪ While you were the one with all the strength ♪ ♪ ♪ Only a face without a name ♪ ♪ ♪ I never once heard you complain ♪ ♪ ♪ Did you ever know that you're my hero?

♪ ♪ ♪ Everything I would like to be ♪ ♪ ♪ I can fly higher than an eagle ♪ ♪ ♪ You are the wind beneath my wings ♪ ♪ ♪ You are the wind ♪ ♪ Beneath ♪ ♪ my ♪ ♪ wings ♪ [applause and cheering] LISA: Mr. Daniel O'Donnell, ladies and gentlemen.
DANIEL: Lisa McHugh.
[cheering and applause] Now in this next song you'll recognize my longtime singing partner Mary Duff.
Sadly Mary has decided to retire from touring with our show, but she joins me on this one along with Louise Morrissey, Paddy O'Brien, and Frank McCaffrey.

And this next song is very special for me, too, and I'm going to sing it in the Irish language.
There's always a fire in the kitchen, or the title is "Our House Is a Home."

She's had a wonderful career in country music, and since I've gotten to know her, she's just as nice as she is talented.
I'm delighted to be joined by Crystal Gayle.

[cheering and applause] Now, I have returned to PBS many times.
I suppose you could say my shoes keep walking back to you.
This next song, I'm going to sing it in the Irish language.
I'd like to share just a song in our native tongue.
See if you recognize it.

For this version, I'm joined by Rita Coolidge, and we sing it in three different languages.
I hope that it will lift your soul just as much as it did ours as we performed it.
