LYRICS



"Congratulations"



Congratulations
And celebrations
When I tell everyone that you're in love
With me
Congratulations
And jubilations
I want the world to know I'm happy as can be.

Who could believe that I could be happy and contented
I used to think that happiness hadn't been invented
But that was in the bad old days before I met you
When I let you walk into my heart

Congratulations
And celebrations
When I tell everyone that
you're in love with me
Congratulations
And jubilations
I want the world to know I'm happy as can be.

I was afraid that maybe you thought you were above me
That I was only fooling myself to think you loved me
But then tonight you said you couldn't live without me
That round about me
You wanted to stay

Congratulations
And celebrations
When I tell everyone that
you're in love with me
Congratulations
And jubilations
I want the world to know I'm happy as can be.

Congratulations
And jubilations
I want the world to know I'm happy as can be.
I want the world to know
I'm happy as can be

Power to all our friends



Power to all our friends
To the music that never ends
To the people we want to be
Baby, power to you and me

There's one old man spent his life growing flowers
Caring for the bees
Power to the bees

There's one old lady spent her days making wine
The wine tasted fine
Power to the vine

Power to the boys who played rock 'n' roll
And made my life so sweet
And to the girls I knew before
And those I've yet to meet

Power to all our friends
To the music that never ends
To the people we want to be
Baby, power to you and me

There's one strong man ploughing in the valley
He's living off the land
Power to the land

There's some young girl laying down in Monte Carlo
Laying in the sun
Power to the sun

Power to the boys who played rock 'n' roll
And made my life so sweet
And to the girls I knew before
And those I've yet to meet

Power to all our friends
To the music that never ends
To the people we want to be
Baby, power to you and me

Power to the boys who played rock 'n' roll
And made my life so sweet
And to the girls I knew before
And those I've yet to meet

Power to all our friends
To the music that never ends
To the people we want to be
Baby, power to you and me

To the music that never ends
Baby, power to all our friends

Summer Holiday



We're all going on a summer holiday
No more working for a week or two
Fun and laughter on our summer holiday
No more worries for me or you
For a week or two

We're going where the sun shines brightly
We're going where the sea is blue
We've seen it in the movies
Now let's see if it's true

Everybody has a summer holiday
Doing things they always wanted to
So we're going on a summer holiday
To make our dreams come true
For me and you

We're going where the sun shines brightly
We're going where the sea is blue
We've seen it in the movies
Now let's see if it's true

Everybody has a summer holiday
Doing things they always wanted to
So we're going on a summer holiday
To make our dreams come true
For me and you

Mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm

BIOGRAPHY (1)


He started life as Harry Webb and spent some of his childhood years in India. Cliff Richard was inspired by the music of Elvis Presley and at age 16, formed a band, 'The Quintones', with school friends and performed at their local Youth Club. From there, Cliff Richard went from strength to strength and became a global star.

Having moved to India to help build a system of railways, Rodger Webb married Dorothy Dazely in 1939 and the following year the couple had a baby boy - Harry Rodger Webb.

Born in The King's English Hospital in Lucknow, Harry was educated in Howrah, until his family moved to England in 1948, following Home Rule in India.

After a privileged life in India, the Webbs faced poverty, and were forced to sleep on mattresses at the houses of various relatives. In 1951, they were given a council house in Chesthunt, and after just failing the eleven-plus exam, Harry was enrolled in the newly built Cheshunt County Secondary School.

After being inspired by the music of Elvis, Harry and a group of school friends formed a group, 'The Quintones', and performed at their local Youth Club.

For his 16th birthday, Harry got his first guitar, going on to form ‘The Drifters’ in 1958, with Terry Smart and Norman Mitham. After a number of low-key London gigs, Ian Samwell joined the band and they recorded their first demo, covers of Elvis' ‘Lawdy Miss Clawdy’ and Jerry Lee Lewis' ‘Breathless’.

After recording their first hit single, ‘Schoolboy Crush/Move It’, they were quickly signed by Columbia. The song hit No.2 in the British charts, and went on to sell over a million copies.

Now going under the name Cliff Richard, an appearance on the TV show ‘Oh Boy!’ catapulted Cliff to sex symbol status.

In 1958, Hank Marvin and Bruce Welch joined 'The Drifters', and by 1959 the band changed their name to ‘The Shadows’. It was also around this time that Cliff made his film debut in ‘Serious Charge’. The film produced the hit ‘Living Doll’, Cliff’s first number one hit.

Cliff's second movie, ‘Expresso Bongo’, was more successful and critically acclaimed. As the albums and hit singles rolled out, Cliff Richard was building a devoted fan base that would secure his chart success some 40 years later.

In 1961, Cliff starred in ‘The Young Ones’, and the accompanying single shot straight into number one in the charts. The second film with Cliff in the leading role was another musical, ‘Summer Holiday’, which saw him star alongside Una Stubbs.

1968 saw the last album recorded by Cliff with 'The Shadows', and Cliff went on to tour with his own gospel album. In 1970, Cliff launched his first television show, featuring a mix of music and comedy. In the same year, he made his stage debut in Peter Shaffer's ‘Five Finger Exercise’, a play focusing on a 'deep friendship' between a student and his tutor. The play was originally considered controversial for its veiled homosexual themes but despite this, reviews were favourable.

When


When, when you smile, when you smile at me
Well, well I know our love will always be
When, when you kiss, when you kiss me right
I, I don't want to ever say good night

I need you
I want you near me
I love you
Yes, I do and I hope you hear me

When, when I say, when I say "Be mine"
If, if you will I know all will be fine
When will you be mine?

(Oh, baby)
(I need you)
(I want you near me)
(I love you)
(Yes, I do and I hope you hear me when)

When, when you smile, when you smile at me
Well, well I know our love will always be
When, when you kiss, when you kiss me right
I, I don't want to ever say good night

I need you
I want you near me
I love you
Yes, I do and I hope you hear me

When, when I say, when I say "Be mine"
If, if you will I know all will be fine

LYRICS



Cliff Richard


We Don't Talk Anymore



Used to think that life was sweet.
Used to think we were so complete.
I can't believe you'd throw it away.

Used to feel we had it made.
Used to feel we could sail away.
Can you imagine how I feel today.
Well it seems a long time ago you were the lonely one.
Now it comes to letting go you are the only one.
Do you know what you've done.

It's so funny how we don't talk anymore.
It's so funny why we don't talk anymore.
But I ain't losing sleep and I ain't counting sheep.
it's so funny how we don't talk anymore.

Well it really doesn't matter to me.
I guess you're leaving was meant to be.
It's down to you now you want to be free.
Well I hope you know which way to go
you're on your own again.
And don't come crying to me when you're the lonely one.
Remember what you've done.

It's so funny how we don't talk anymore.
It's so funny why we don't talk anymore
But I ain't losing sleep and I ain't counting sheep.
It's so funny how we don't talk anymore.

But I ain't losing sleep and I ain't counting sheep.
It's so funny how we don't talk.

But I ain't losing sleep and I ain't counting sheep.
It's so funny how we don't talk.

"The Minute You're Gone"


The minute you're gone I cry
The minute you're gone I die
Before you walk out of sight
I'm like a child all alone at night

I stare into emptiness
I'm filled with such loneliness
The world goes from right to wrong
The minute you're gone

The minute you're gone I see
How lonely a man I'll be
My life would be oh so blue
If I couldn't be with you

The minute you're gone I pray
The minute you're gone I say
Please don't stay away too long
The minute you're gone
The minute you're gone

Just you know why
Why you and I
Will by and by

Sometimes we'll sigh
Sometimes we'll cry
And you'll know why just you and I
Know true love ways

Throughout the day's
Our true love ways
Will bring us joys to share
With those you really care

Sometimes we'll sigh
Sometimes well cry
And you'll know why just
You and I know true love ways

Throughout the day's
Our true love ways
Will bring us joys to share
With those you really care

Sometimes we'll sigh
Sometimes well cry
And you'll know why just
You and I know true love ways

SOME PEOPLE


Some people they tease one another
Take pride in themselves
keeping the other one down
Well I'm not like that at all

Some people they hurt one another
They love to see hurt in the other one's eyes
Well I'm not like that at all

Some people are born for each other
They love to walk holding the other one's hand
They always understand
Some people cry
Some people know why

Some people they use one another so aimlessly
Not like lovers do
Well I'm not like that at all

Some people they long for each other
The love to talk holding the other one's hand
They always understand
Some people cry
Some people know why

With a word unspoken
With a voice unheard
When a thought is broken
By a tender word
When a heart is moved
When a hears is thrown
The silence tells you
You're not alone

To see the kingdom come.

Be born in love again.

BIOGRAPHY (2)

One of the most talked about aspects of Cliff's life is his relationships. A much publicised relationship with tennis star Sue Barker in 1981 ended within a year. Cliff has also been linked with actress Una Stubbs

In 1986, Cliff and The Young Ones re-recorded ‘Living Doll’ and made it to the top of the charts. In the same year he appeared in the West End musical ‘Time’, and by the end of the decade he had released his highest selling album of all time, 'Private Collection', which went on to be certified four-times platinum in the UK alone!

‘Mistletoe & Wine’ become Cliff's first Christmas-themed No.1 in 1988 and by 1989, Cliff became the first British artist to release 100 singles. Cliff continued to tour and break records throughout the 1990s, and in 1995 he became Sir Cliff Richard - the first pop star to be honoured with a full Knighthood.

Despite selling records by the lorry load, Cliff ran into trouble getting airplay from various radio stations, including a ban by the BBC for his track ‘Misunderstood Man’, which was deemed “too raucous” for listeners.

Perhaps the most significant project for Cliff in the nineties was the fulfilment of his lifelong dream to play the character of Heathcliff in Emily Bronte's masterpiece, 'Wuthering Heights'. The show was a runaway success, and gave Cliff his highest selling video ever, topping the UK video charts for two months upon its 1998 release.

In 1999, ‘The Millennium Prayer’ reached number one, regardless of no airplay and scathing reviews. Despite a lack of support in the press, Cliff continues to make music and his recent album and DVD release cracked the top twenty. From 2001 to 2013 Cliff has released a total of nine studio albums (as well as live albums and compilations), with the last being the certified-gold 'The Fabulous Rock 'n' Roll Songbook.

Cliff now divides his time between his homes in the UK, Barbados and Portugal, where he has taken to making his own wine.

LYRICS


Cliff Richard


From a distance


From a distance, the world looks blue and green,
And the snow capped mountains so white.
From a distance the ocean meets the stream,

And the eagle takes to flight.
From a distance, there is harmony
And it echoes through the land.
It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace,
It's the voice of every man.

From a distance, we all have enough,
And no-one is in need.
There are no guns, no bombs and no disease
No hungry mouths to feed.
For a moment we must be instruments,
Martching in a common band,
Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace,
They're the songs of every one.

God is watching us, God is watching us,
God is watching us, from a distance.

From a distance, you look like my friend,
Even though we are at war.
From a distance, I can't comprehend,
What all this war is for.
What we need is love and harmony,
Let it echo through the land.
It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves,
It's the heart of everyone.
It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves,
It's the song of everyone.

Sing out, songs of hope,
Sing out, songs of freedom,
Sing out, songs of love,
Sing out, songs of peace,
Sing out, songs of justice,
Sing out, songs of harmony,
Sing out, songs of love,
Sing out, everyone,
Sing out, songs of hope,
Sing out, songs of freedom,
Sing out, songs of love,
Sing out, songs of peace,
Sing out, songs of justice,
Sing out, songs in harmony,
Sing out, sing about love,
Sing out, everyone.
Sing out.

Suddenly


She walks in and I'm suddenly a hero
I'm taken in, my hopes begin to rise
Look at me, can't you tell I'd be so thrilled

To see the message in your eyes

You make it seem I'm so close to my dream
And then suddenly it's all there


Suddenly the wheels are in motion
And I, I'm ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly I don't need the answers
'Cause I, I'm ready to take all my chances with you

And how can I feel you're all that matters
I'd rely on anything you say
I'll take care, no illusions shatter
If you dare to say what you should say

You make it seem I'm so close to my dream
And then suddenly it's all there


Suddenly the wheels are in motion
And I, I'm ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly I don't need the answers
'Cause I, I'm ready to take all my chances with you


Why do I feel so alive when you're near
There's no way any hurt can get through
Longing to spend every moment of the day with you, with you


Suddenly the wheels are in motion
And I, I'm ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly I don't need the answers
'Cause I, I'm ready to take all my chances with you

Miss you nights


I've had many times I can tell you
Times when innocence I'd trade for company
And children saw me crying
I thought I'd had my share of that
But these miss you nights are the longest

Midnight diamonds stud my heaven
Southward burning like the jewels that eye your place
And the warm winds that embrace me
Just as surely kissed your face
Yeah these miss you nights they're the longest

How I missed you I'm not likely to tell
I'm a man and cold daylight buys the pride I'd rather sell
All my secrets are a wasted affair
You know them well

Thinking of my going
How to cut the thread and leave it all behind
Looking windward for my compass
I'll take each day as it arrives
But these miss you nights are the longest

Lay down all thoughts of your surrender
It's only me who's killing time
Play down all dreams and themes once remembered
It's just the same this miss you game

Yet these miss you nights are the longest
