Cliff Richard Album

Right from early days from the moment I was born
I would take my guitar in the early early mornin'
And go down to the fields and play-ay-ay

Sittin' down there in the long grass strummin'
I could see the people from miles around comin'
To hear me sing my music and play-ay-ay

Well that's been my kinda life my kinda life (yes and I like it)
Well that's been my kinda life my kinda life (yes and I like it)
Well that's been my kinda life yeah and I wouldn't spend it anywhere
Other than sittin' down somewhere playin' away my days

Well we made it to the city just me and my guitar
That was where I found a freaky little bar
I sat there on the stage and play-ay-ayed
Well up came a guy who said it wasn't plastic
He wanted me to sing away my life or something drastic
But all I wanna do is play-ay-ay

Well that's been my kinda life my kinda life (yes and I like it)
Well that's been my kinda life my kinda life (yes and I like it)
Well that's been my kinda life yeah and I wouldn't spend it anywhere
Other than sittin' down somewhere playin' away my days

Well fame and fortune I've let them pass me by
No one in the country could say I didn't try
To turn the people and to play-ay-ay
You can keep all the money and the places that go with it
Cos all I want is freedom and no cash could ever get it
All I wanna do is play-ay-ay

Well that's been my kinda life my kinda life (yes and I like it)
Well that's been my kinda life my kinda life (yes and I like it)
Well that's been my kinda life yeah and I wouldn't spend it anywhere
Other than sittin' down somewhere playin' away my days

Must be love

Ooh I'd like to tell you something that's playing on my mind
I don't know how to tell you, so I'll take my time
I believe, I believe it's not just in my mind
Something I'm dreaming to take up the time
There's no escape - I don't want to be free
I believe that it must be love

Having trouble sleeping, you're always on my mind
When it comes to dreamin' I get left behind
I believe, I believe there's no doubt in my mind
There's no use pretending I'm hooked on your line
Words of the heart don't come easy to me
I believe that it must be love

You got me tied to a railroad track
Your love's the train - there's no turning it back
I've told you how I feel, I've laid it on the line
Got to take your love and make you feel that you're mine

I believe, I believe it's not just in my mind
Something I'm dreaming to take up the time
There's no escape - I don't want to be free
I believe that it must be love

It must be love
It must be love yeah etc..

We turned water into wine but that didn't last
We were the victims of our age
Now we live on different floors
And go our separate ways
And talk behind closed doors
We changed our world waiting for it all to end
It's such a shame but who's to blame
When two worlds drift apart

We used to sit around the fire
And whisper words the world outside would make no claim to hear
But now we talk an octave higher
In droning tones that don't relate at all to yester year
We changed our world waiting for it all to end
It's such a shame but who's to blame
When two worlds drift apart

Do you remember when we were seventeen
We took a boat out for an hour
But we preferred the greenery to the scenery of the sea
And tied up in some cosy cove
Till harbour lights appeared across the bay

Into love and out of mind
A poet claimed that loving you has only made me blind
But love is really crystal clear
It's only when you need someone the clouds will soon appear
We changed our world waiting for it all to end
It's such a shame but who's to blame
When two worlds drift apart

Do you remember when laughter was the cure
For all the hard times that we knew
But we forgot to feed the fire - let it all burn down
Warmth returns to cold and poison into pain
It's such a shame but who's to blame
When two worlds drift apart

Remember.....(remember)

You've got me wondering

Gave us life for the living
And love for the giving
So thanks for the making
It's nice partaking

Now you got me wondering how it all began
My imagination fails to perceive
A million different questions fail to get an answer
I think that's why I'll always believe

As we go through this life
We'll ask you once or twice
Was all this your making
Sleep, dreaming, waking

Sweet is the sound of your voice
Singing your song
Leaving my questions undone
Oh you get me wondering

Now you got me wondering how it all began
My imagination fails to perceive
A million different questions fail to get an answer
I think that's why I'll always believe

Now you got me wondering how it all began
My imagination fails to perceive
A million different questions fail to get an answer
I think that's why I'll always believe

Look at the man in the corner, he's sitting all alone
His blankets are made out of cardboard,
And his pillows are made out of stone
Every face tells a story it never tells a lie
Every face tells a story it never tells a lie

See the man walking on the water, see the light in his eyes
He came into the world with a message to tell,
He came into the world to die
Every face tells a story it never tells a lie
Every face tells a story it never tells a lie

You're always telling stories, you're always telling me lies
You're always telling stories, why?
So think of yourself in the water, seeing your days flashing by
It's too late to see what you wanted to be,
You've spent all your time, you must die

Every face tells a story it never tells a lie
Every face tells a story it never tells a lie, oh

You're always telling stories, you're always telling me lies
You're always telling stories, why?


Why don't you step down
And make it work out right
I'm trying to get to you with my warning
Been here
For nearly half the night
Look it's nearly four in the morning.......

Try a smile

There's nobody here
There's nobody home
There's no one I can turn to
Or call my own
But this is what I've wanted
For a long long while
So I lay back take it easy
And try a smile

So strange how we go
Our love never shown
Except when we are parted
Or oh so alone
when we're together
We miss love by a mile
So I lay back take it easy
And try a smile

Can this really be for the best
I got an achin' in my heart
I wanna tell you that I love you
I know we had to close the door
Only to find that there were more
I wanna tell you that I love you
Yes I do, yes I do, yes I do

There's nobody here
There's nobody home
There's no one I can turn to
Or call my own
But this is what I've wanted
For a long long while
So I lay back take it easy
And try a smile

Can this really be for the best
I got an achin' in my heart
I wanna tell you that I love you
I know we had to close the door
Only to find that there were more
I wanna tell you that I love you
Yes I do, yes I do, yes I do

Hey mr. dream maker

Josie's gone now
She cried a lot
Had to go away
And though I miss her
I want to kiss her
Ain't it just the way
But it's no way at all
'Cos if you knew what I'm goin'
Through you'd know
That there's one thing wrong
With the way I'm living
Ain't got no Josie no-more

Hey mr. dream maker send me a dream
This one is over it's not what it seamed
And so tonight when I turn out the light
Send me a new dream tonight, ooh

She didn't say much
Just a little touch
And she was on her way
Ooh I could have cried then
Instead I died then
She left me standing dazed
But it's no use crying
Well that's what everybody
Tells me and they all seem to know
That there's one thing wrong
With the way I'm living
Ain't got no Josie no-more

Hey mr. dream maker send me a dream
This one is over it's not what it seamed
And so tonight when I turn out the light
Send me a new dream tonight

ooh, hey mr., ooh, hey mr.
hey mr. dream maker

mr. dream maker send me a dream
This one is over it's not what it seamed
And so tonight when I turn out the light
Send me a new dream tonight

aaahhh, send me a new dream tonight

Hey mr. dream maker send me a dream
This one is over it's not what it seamed
And so tonight when I turn out the light
Send me a new dream tonight

aah, send me a new dream tonight.....

Give me love your way

Got every reason to feel like I do
From the top of my head to the bottom of my shoes
'Cos last night my baby took the weight off my mind
Told me everything was gonna be fine

She said she loved me
I'm never gonna be without the love she promised to give me
'Cos she says every night, hold me tight, forever is right
Love is bright, moon delight, she's outa sight
Give me, give me, give me love your way

She could have resisted my efforts to pry
But she knows how I feel and she's not exactly shy
Though right now I'm lonely I know it won't be long
I can hear the train comin' bringin' lovin' along

She said she loved me
I'm never gonna be without the love she promised to give me
'Cos she says every night, hold me tight, forever is right
Love is bright, moon delight, she's outa sight
Give me, give me, give me love your way

Ooh I used to be so lost and confused
I stumbled through knowing that each door I tried
Was closed before me and knowing that I cried
But still I didn't rest I had to know
What was behind it all I'd come so far
And then I saw her note I couldn't believe she wrote

I couldn't resist it being beside her
Could have held that moment forever in my heart
The moment I saw her was the moment I knew
That her love is my life and her light's shining through

She said she loved me
I'm never gonna be without the love she promised to give me
'Cos she says every night, hold me tight, forever is right
Love is bright, moon delight, she's outa sight
Give me, give me, give me love your way

Ooh I used to be so lost and confused
I stumbled through knowing that each door I tried
Was closed before me and knowing that I cried
But still I didn't rest I had to know
What was behind it all I'd come so far
And then I saw her note I couldn't believe she wrote

You've come up in the world
And it's all to your credit
You made something of your life
like you always said you would
But what ever happened to
The girl I used to know
And all those halcyon days of love?

You've come up in the world
And it's such a shame
You made success of a dream
but it seems so empty now
With your weak excuses and
Your condescending ways
And all too frequent nights - alone.

(STRINGS INTERLUDE)

I've come down in the world
And it's all to your credit
You made something of my life
but you've thrown it all away
For your books and your fancy talk
Your new found friends and all
Your theories on mankind - and society.

(Lyrics/Music - Clifford T. Ward)

On my way home I met an
Old friend of mine
We walked and we talked an' shared
A bottle of wine
We started to dance and my
Intentions were good
How could I know I'd be misunderstood

I promised to call before the weekend
Was thru
We'd all get together sho she could
Meet you
I was just being friendly, I met her
By chance
You gotta believe me - it's not a romance

Don't turn the light out, I'm starting to see
Don't turn the light out, you're getting to me
Don't turn the light out, we're burning so bright
Don't turn the light out.....don't turn the light out

You gotta see it from my point


Of view
The same situation could
Happen to you
I said it was over before she left
Town
I can't believe that you're putting me down

Don't turn the light out, I'm starting to see
Don't turn the light out, you're getting to me
Don't turn the light out, we're burning so bright
Don't turn the light out.....don't turn the light out

It would be easy if you'd lighten up
Do it to please me, enough is enough
All that we've been thru, how can you doubt
The ups an' the downs are what loving's about

So don't turn the light out, I'm starting to see
Don't turn the light out, you're getting to me
Don't turn the light out, we're burning so bright
Don't turn the light out.....don't turn the light out

Who's gonna shoe your pretty feetWho's gonna hold your handWho's gonna take you out tonightTo listen to the band
Who'll be the one you love to loveWho's gonna be your beauWho's gonna show you off tonightWhen he takes you to the show
It'll be me babe, it'll be meComin' for thee babe, comin' for theeIn case there's any doubtJust who I'm talkin' aboutIt'll be me babe, it'll be me

Who's gonna meet you in the mornTo court you through the dayWho's gonna pick you up at eightTo rock the night away-ahh----rock-----the night away
It'll be me babe, it'll be meComin' for thee babe, comin' for theeIn case there's any doubtJust who I'm talkin' aboutIt'll be me babe, it'll be me yeahI want you to know it'll be me at your doorIt's gonna be gonna be gonna be me babe

Spider man

He's the footsteps in the night
Shadows gone before the light
Never get to see the face
Of spider man

Catcing flies just ain't his style
If you're crooked stop think awhile
Once bitten - never the same
He makes a black widow look tame
Spider man

He spins a golden web
With a golden thread
That never, never let's him down, down, down
And when the spidercatcher comes to town
He ain't around

solo

If you're walking in the park
And hear a shuffling in the dark
Don't stop to give it a glance
You know there's a pretty good chance
It's spider man, spider man
Once bitten never the same
He makes a black widow look tame
Spider man
