'Congratulations' was a global hit as it became a much bigger hit than 'La, La, La', which beat Cliff in the 1968 Eurovision song contest. Shortly after 'Congratulations', which was one of his solo efforts, Cliff recorded his last single with The Shadows. Again in 1973, with 'Power to All Our Friends', he entered the Eurovision song contest--this time reaching 3rd place.
The most sold artist in British Pop history - with over 40 top hits.
Worked with Stock Aitken Waterman in 1989 and the single "I Just Don't Have The Heart".
Sixty appearances at Wembley, plus sellout tour to celebrate 50 years in the business.
First hit: Move It, 1958, first no. 1: Living Doll
As big as he is in the UK, he has only had 3 Top 10 hits in the USA with the biggest still being his breakthrough 1976 single "Devil Woman" which made it all the way to #6.
Has also worked with Elton John, Mark Knopfler, Julian Lennon, Freddie Mercury, Stevie Wonder, Phil Everly, Janet Jackson, Sheila Walsh, Van Morrison, and Olivia Newton-John.
A Little in Love
Cliff Richard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You say you've had fun
And you've been happy with the things you've done
Now you feel strange and a little unreal
Well I can understand the way you feel
You're just a little in love
(Just a little)
You're just a little in love
Well I can see what's happening to you
You fell in love but it's just not true
And there's one thing you ought to know
I need you so I'm just a little in love
(Just a little)
I'm just a little in love
(Just a little)
You know sometimes you look somewhere
You're not stone
But there's no one there
No one to turn to
No one to see the way you're feeling
A-just like me
Just a little in love
(Just a little)
You're just a little in love
(Just a little)
You say you're willing to learn
You need a friend
A friend who will help you
'cause you're just a little in love
Oh yeah a little in love
You are a little in love
With someone you just like to see
Like me, you're in love
Oh yeah, a little in love
You're in love
Cliff Richard's song "A Little in Love" highlights the power of love and how it can instantaneously transform a person's mood. The lyrics depict a romantic ambiance, where the singer is overtaken by the presence of his beloved, and how her mere presence summons his affection for her. As she is close to him, it's as though he's got his mood up for love and feels a sense of belonging in her presence. His admiration towards her glimmers through the metaphor of her eyes which he refers to as 'Heaven,' and her eyes' brightness comparable to the stars under which they are standing. This line suggests not only the radiant spark in her eyes but also reflects the depth of the connection they share.
The mood of the song is warm and happy owing to the anthem-like melody. The next lines of the song celebrate being together and letting oneself plunge in this love because they're in it together. Despite knowing the future, the singer decides to let go of his worries and relish the love of the moment. He doesn't want to ruin the present moments with the thoughts of what may come, but rather bask in the bliss. The ending of the song accentuates the joyous moment, expressing the happiness that they could find each other and be together so that he can remain in the 'mood for love.'
Line by Line Meaning
I'm in the mood for love
I am currently feeling romantic
Simply because you're near me
I am feeling romantic because you are close to me
Funny, but when you're near me
It's interesting how being near you sparks my romantic feelings
Heaven is in your eyes
Your eyes are so beautiful, they remind me of heaven
Bright as the stars we're under
Your eyes are as bright and beautiful as the stars above us
Oh! Is it any wonder
It's no surprise that I am feeling romantic when I look into your eyes
Why stop to think of whether
There is no need to worry about whether
This little dream might fade?
Our romantic relationship may not last, but I don't want to focus on that
We've put our hearts together
We've committed to each other emotionally
Now we are one, I'm not afraid!
We are united and my fear of being alone is gone
If there's a cloud above
Even if there are problems in our relationship
If it should rain we'll let it
We'll face those problems together and not let them tear us apart
But for tonight, forget it!
Let's enjoy the moment and not worry about anything else
