Cliff Richard - The Minute You're Gone

Cliff Richard - 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

Cliff Richard - Miss You Nights

Cliff Richard - Miss You Nights

'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

Cliff Richard - Mistletoe & Wine

Cliff Richard - Mistletoe & Wine

The child is a king
the caroller sing

The old is past
there's a new beginning.
Dreams of Santa
dreams of snow

Fingers numb
faces aglow
it's -

Christmas time
mistletoe and wine

Children singing Christian rhyme.
With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree

A time to rejoice in the good that we see.

A time for living
a time for believing

A time for trusting
no deceiving.
Love and laughter and joy ever after

Hours for the taking
just follow the master.

Christmas time
mistletoe and wine
...
Silent night
holy night -

It's a time for giving
a time for getting

A time for forgiving and for forgetting.
Christmas is love
Christmas is peace

A time for hating and fighting to cease.

Christmas time
mistletoe and wine
...
Christmas time
mistletoe and wine
...
Christmas time
mistletoe and wine
...

Cliff Richard - More to life

Cliff Richard - More to life

Free to run like the wind on a Summer day
Heart worn like a ring around the moon
And your eyes are ablaze
Reflections of time passing by
That remind you there's much more to life
Than standing still
Or running from place to place in the heat of the day
Just follow your heart and you'll see ....
There's more to life
There beyond the horizon there's another day
Far above the pain and fear you feel
The power and the peace
The greatest sensation of all
There is much more to life than you'll ever know
The rise and fall, there'll always be you and me
We're moving as one
So follow your heart and you'll see ....
There's more to life

We all have our dreams
We all have our visions
But time after time we're faced with decisions
Which road to follow?
How hard to fight?
Then you wake up and see
That there's much more to life

Free in acres of sky on a Summer day
Fire that burns with hope inside your heart
We are never apart
Reflections of time passing by
That remind you there's much more to life
So just follow your heart and you'll see
If you follow your heart you'll be free
'Cos there's more to life
More to life

Cliff Richard - Mr. businessman

Cliff Richard - Mr. businessman

Itemise the things you
covet as you squander
through your life.
Bigger cars, bigger
houses, term insurance
for your wife.
Tuesday evenings with your harlot,
and on Wednesdays it's
your sharlatan analyst,
he's high upon your list.
You got air conditioned
surmises and dark, disturbing doubts
about religion.
And you keep those cards
and letters going out.
And while your
secretary's tempting you
your morals are exepting
you from guilt and shame,
heaven knows
you're not to blame!

You better take care of
business, Mr. Businessman,
what's your plan?
Get down to business,
Mr. Businessman, if you can
before it's too late,
and they throw your life away.

Did you see your children
growing up today,
and did you hear the
music of their laughter
as they set about to play?
And did you smell the
fragrance of those roses
in your garden?
Did the morning sunlight
warm your soul and
brighten up your day?
Do you qualify to be
alive or is the limit
of your senses
so as only to survive?

Spending counterfeit
incentive, wasting
precious time and health.
Placing values on the
worthless, disregarding
priceless wealth.
Well, you can wheel and
deal the best of them
and steal it from the rest of them.
You know the score,
their ethics are a bore.
86 proof anesthetic crotches
brought you to the top
where the smiles are all synthetic
and the ulcers never stop
when they take that final inventory
yours will be the same
sad story everywhere -
noone will really care. Noone more lonely than
this rich important man.
Let's have your autograph
ENDORSE your epitaph!

You better take care...
................if you can!
