This was the song I chose for my brother's funeral. My father was stunned by how beautiful it was. Thanks Iris.

Such a special song. Has me in tears every time

[@taddyd1]

Her best song ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When I saw her I called this song out as a request for her final encore. I shouted after a dozen requests had already been made but she stopped them after me and said "That's the one."

[@jeffhunt2778]

She's a national treasure.

This song hits home, I love just about everything she does. What a beautiful song.

Mmm. She is good. Stumbled over "Let The Mystery Be" and was converted. Thankyou.

When my Morning comes around.. no one else will be there.

[@donaldmackenzie9198]

When my mornin' comes around, No one else will be there So I won't have to worry about What I'm supposed to say And I alone will know that I climbed That great big mountain And that's all that will matter When my mornin' comes around When my mornin' comes around, I will look back on this valley At these sidewalks and alleys Where I lingered for so long And this place where I now live Will burn to ash and cinder Like some ghost I won't remember When my mornin' comes around When my mornin' comes around, From a new cup I'll be drinking And for once I won't be thinking That there's something wrong with me And I'll wake up and find That my faults have been forgiven And that's when I'll start living When my mornin' comes around

[@undurraga1]

Amen!!!!!

Greg Brown is one lucky man....

[@BoopShooBee]

Is she partnered up with Greg Brown? Didn't know that. I like him as well.

[@Northyorkspaul]

The six songs found on this festival performance show Iris at her most emotional, and also a higher voice? Brilliant singing with all her power. Unbeatable. Peter Turner, England, UK.

[@arthurriechert6473]

Is this song about life after death? What does it mean? Is it about being in heaven after we die? I'm not sure?

Beautiful song and I love her voice. She did some with the late great John Prine that were great as well."Inspite of Ourselves", is my personal favorite. I learned this song to perform and for whatever reason, I ended up adding this verse, which I tend to do on some songs. When my morning comes around once again I’ll feel the laughter And then the morning after, I’ll learn to love again I’ll reach for higher mountains and there I’ll find my rainbow I’ll learn to love my inner me When my Morning comes around
