'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.
Please Remember Me
Cliff Richard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heard so many times before
He is leaving she is staying
Neither of them know what for
There's no laughter there's no crying
There is love there's no denying
Differences led to goodbye and please remember me
A front door that's unlocked
A faith in the feelings there'll be someone you forgot
True I'm gonna miss you, true I'm gonna need you
You know I'm not the one to worry
Oh but I heard the weather report
It says it's gonna be cold and lonely
So honey won't you please remember me
I'm the one that loves you
Please remember me
I'm the one that cares
Please remember me
I'll be thinking of you
And should you ever decide you want to come home
I'll be there
This is like that old love story
Those who've lost love know it's true
She's sitting by a window waiting
He's sitting somewhere wonderin' what to do
They know they should be together
They know they should reconcile
He knew he would regret her saying please remember me
She said-you've got a home and a warm bed
A roof over your head
A place in my heart for someone I'll never forget
True I'm gonna miss you, true I'm gonna need you
You know I'm not the one to worry
Oh but I heard the weather report
It says it's gonna be cold and lonely
So honey won't you please remember me
I'm the one that loves you
Please remember me
I'm the one that cares
Please remember me
I'll be thinking of you
And should you ever decide you want to come home
I'll be there
Oh lover won't you please remember
Won't you please remember me
Ooh lover won't you please remember
Won't you please remember me
The lyrics of Cliff Richard's "Please Remember Me" depict a common situation known to many: a couple dealing with the end of their relationship. The two people involved are portrayed as being sad and unsure about their future. One person is leaving while the other is staying, and neither one knows what the future holds. There is no laughter or crying, just a sense of love that cannot be denied. The two have differences that have led to their breakup, but they are still willing to remember each other.
As the song progresses, the woman tries to convince the man that she will not forget him. She tells him that she has a phone, a mailbox, and a front door that is always open to him. She also assures him that there will be someone else for him, but that he will be missed. The man is hesitant to leave but eventually does so, and both wonder if they will regret their decision.
The song ultimately ends on a hopeful note with the woman promising to wait for the man if he ever decides to come back home. The lyrics are a poignant reminder of the pain of lost love and the hope that it can be found again in the future.
