'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.
Saviour's Day
Cliff Richard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Winter has truly begun
Now we have walked in the chill of the night
We are waiting for, waiting for
For the Savior's Day
Many have come from the valleys
Many have come from the hills
To be with someone, with someone
On the Savior's Day
Open your eyes on Savior's Day
Don't look back or turn away
Life can be yours if you only stay
He is calling you, calling you
On the Savior's Day
Joining the old and the young ones
Joining the black and the white
Meeting the need of the hungry is He
Will we ever remember Him
On the Savior's Day
Open your eyes on Savior's Day
Don't look back or turn away
Life can be yours if you only stay
He is calling you, calling you
On the Savior's Day
Here's to the God of the present (raise your glasses)
Here's to the God of the past (drink to the King)
Here's to the hope in the future He brings
We will sing to Him, sing to Him
On the Savior's Day
Open your eyes on Savior's Day
Don't look back or turn away
Life can be yours if you only stay
He is calling you, calling you
On the Savior's Day
On the Savior's Day
On the Savior's Day
He is calling you
On the Savior's Day
On the Savior's Day (callin', callin', callin' you)
On the Savior's Day (callin', callin', callin' you)
On the Savior's Day (callin', callin', callin' you)

@jcn369
Saviours day is 100% part of the elite Christmas classic list. Magical & inspirational.
@MrPsarn
Although both this song and 'Mistletoe and Wine' were great, personally I have a preference for this one. If anything, this song seems to be promoted more on the radio channels!
@TheRuddster95
@@MrPsarnyeah I've heard it more this year which has been a rare treat, would love to hear it even more in future!
@Boo-id5ct
I'm 23 and I've listened to it since I was a toddler. I have even listened to it in the middle of the year because of the joy it's brought me. Thank you Cliff for making such a masterpiece.
@joemorris2814
I'm not greatly into all of Cliff's music, but this one blows me away - it's one of the best Christmas anthems ever. He's telling it like it is - what Christmas is really about. Beautiful.
@damian-795
Agree
@angelacooper2661
I couldn't agree more. As a Christian of long-standing, I wish this had a more prominent airing at the festive season. I was twenty at the time, now aged 52!
@leeannjacket7740
You would like his song Mistletoe and Wine.
@swiminthesea6724
Same! This one and millennium prayer ❤
@megaham1552
Wish they would play this one more on the radio rather then the usual Christmas songs
