She started her professional career as a child performer and has had one of the longest careers of any British entertainer, spanning more than eight decades. Clark's professional career began during the Second World War as a child entertainer on BBC Radio. In 1954 she charted with "The Little Shoemaker", the first of her big UK hits, and within two years she began recording in French. Her international successes have included "Prends mon cœur", "Sailor" (a UK number one), "Romeo", and "Chariot". Hits in German, Italian, and Spanish followed. In late 1964 Clark's success extended to the United States with a four-year run of career-defining, often upbeat singles, many written or co-written by Tony Hatch and Jackie Trent. These include her signature song "Downtown" (US number one), "I Know a Place", "My Love" (US number one), "A Sign of the Times", "I Couldn't Live Without Your Love", "Who Am I", "Colour My World", "This Is My Song" (by Charlie Chaplin) (a UK number one), "Don't Sleep in the Subway", "The Other Man's Grass Is Always Greener" and "Kiss Me Goodbye". Between January 1965 and April 1968 Clark charted with nine US Top 20 hits in the US, where she was sometimes called "the First Lady of the British Invasion".

Clark has sold more than 68 million records. She has also enjoyed success in the musical film Finian's Rainbow and in the stage musicals The Sound of Music, Blood Brothers, Sunset Boulevard, and Mary Poppins.

J'ai caché mieux que partout ailleurs
Au jardin de mon cœur une petit fleur
Cette fleur plus jolie qu'un bouquet
Elle garde en secret tous mes rêves d'enfant
L'amour de mes parents et tous ces clairs matins
Faits d'heureux souvenirs lointains
Quand la vie par moments me trahit
Tu restes mon bonheur, petite fleur.
Sur mes vingt ans
Je m'arrête un moment
Pour respirer
Ce parfum que j'ai tant aimé
Dans mon cœur, tu fleuriras toujours
Au grand jardin d'amour, petite fleur.

Eu me escondi melhor do que em qualquer outro lugar
No jardim do meu coração uma pequena flor
Esta flor mais bonita que um buquê
Ela secretamente mantém todos os meus sonhos de infância
O amor dos meus pais e todas essas manhãs claras
Fatos de memórias distantes felizes
Quando a vida às vezes me trai
Você permanece minha felicidade, pequena flor.
Nos meus vinte anos
Paro por um momento
Respirar
Esta fragrância que eu amei muito
No meu coração, você sempre florescerá
No grande jardim do amor, pequena flor.
