With his backing group The Shadows, he dominated the British popular music scene in the late 1950s and early 1960s, before and during the The Beatles' first year in the charts. A conversion to Christianity and subsequent softening of his music led to his having more of a pop than rock image. Although never able to achieve the same impact in the United States as in Britain (in spite of several chart hits there), Richard has remained a popular music, film, and television personality in the UK and also retains a following in several other countries.
During the last six decades, Cliff Richard has charted many hit singles, and holds the record (along with Elvis Presley) as the only act to make the UK singles charts in all of its active decades (1950s–2000s). According to his website, he has sold 250 million records over the course of his career. In the British charts alone, Richard has had more than 150 singles, albums and EPs make the top 20.

The young ones
Darling we're the young ones
To live love
While the flame is strong
‘cause we may not be the young ones very long
Tomorrow
Why wait until tomorrow
‘cause tomorrow sometimes never comes
So love me
There's a song to be sung
And the best time is to sing it while we're young
once in every lifetime
Comes a love like this
Oh I need you and you need me
Oh my darling can't you see
Young dreams
Should be dreamed together
And the young hearts shouldn't be afraid
And some day when (while) the years have flown
Darling then we’ll teach the young ones of our own
once in every lifetime
Comes a love like this
Oh I need you and you need me
Oh my darling can't you see
Young dreams
Should be dreamed together
And the young hearts shouldn't be afraid
And some day when (while) the years have flown
Darling then we’ll teach the young ones of our own

The young ones
We are young and full of vigor
Darling we're the young ones
My love, we are both young and in love
And the young ones shouldn't be afraid
As we are young, we should not be held back by fear
To live love
We should embrace our love and live it fully
While the flame is strong
While our passion is still burning brightly
‘cause we may not be the young ones very long
Our youth is fleeting, so we should make the most of it
Tomorrow
The future
Why wait until tomorrow
Why put off until later what we can do now?

There is no guarantee of a tomorrow
So love me
Therefore, let us love each other

There is a beautiful life to be lived
And the best time is to sing it while we're young
And the best time to live our life is now, while we're still young

Young dreams
Aspirations we have when we are young

And someday in the future
Darling then we’ll teach the young ones of our own
We will impart our wisdom to our own children one day

We may not be the young ones for long....words that hit hard and upon reflection I wish I had dared to act or asked for what my heart wanted no doubt like all of us.
