Chris Rea - That Girl Of Mine - lyrics

Theres a time and place everywhere I go
Where the river meets the sea
Somewhere between the gates of dreams
And the turning of the key
Theres a cutting edge theres a real fine line
And its caught in come and go
And youre leaving what you thought you knew
To what youve come to know
When the twilight turns at the end of day
And the angels kiss the moon
Theres a diamond sun everywhere she goes
And there aint no other way
Im gonna dream tonight
By that pale moonlight
Till the morning comes my way
Im walking tall
And Im walking fine
And Im up there
With that girl of mine
And Im standing in the twilight now
Yeah Im standing by her side
Oh Im gazing in that gate of dreams
Underneath that midnight sky
cos theres a diamond sun everywhere she goes
And there aint no other way
Im gonna dream tonight
By that pale moonlight
Till the morning comes my way
Im walking tall
And Im walking fine
And Im up there
With that girl of mine

Chris Rea - 'Til The Morning Sun Shines On My Love And Me - lyrics

It's a dream I know
We all know so well
Everywhere I go
She's only one step behind
I could search the world over
But I'll never be free
'Til the morning sun shines
Oh my love, and me
I have taken so many
Turns on this road
I don't know east from west
North or south which is best?
I will never know now
The best way to be
'Til the morning sun shines
Oh my love, and me
I went looking for my home
On a cold winter's day
Waved goodbye to my best friend
As he faded away
Somewhere between fortune and reason to be
I found out there was only one thing
That really mattered to me
Oh the busted and the lonely
Are my only true friends
Feel like a wounded old fighting dog
Waiting for the end
i've exchanged all my victories
For just a short time to see
The morning sunrise
On my love, and me

Chris Rea - 'Disco' La Passione - lyrics

I stand alone
Without a care
Open the door
But no-one's there
The lonely night
My only friend
Love's wrongs are right
I can't defend
La Passione
La Passione
La Passione
La Passione
And now I know
What I've become
It haunts me so
But I'll go on and on
I know the pain inside
Is the price you pay to ride
Into the brightest flame
Never the same again
La Passione
La Passione
La Passione
La Passione
You dare to dream
Take the chance and go
Desire has taken hold
Now the passion haunts you so
La Passione
La Passione
La Passione
La Passione

Chris Rea - All Summer Long - lyrics

All summer long we were happy we were one
We didnt think of an ending to our play
All summer long nights of wine, days of song
It couldnt last, our ageing sun had to go
I will always remember you
Watching the waves in the wind
The beach dogs hiding from the rain
Suddenly my colours have turned to grey
Will I ever see your face again
And all winter long I will walk my lonely road
Waiting for you and your return
I will always remember you

Chris Rea - Anyone Quite Like You - lyrics

Against the odds, we proved them wrong
We challenged and we won
We're doing things our own way
Just like we've always done
People try to tell us why
We'll never be on top
I'm telling you, that we're not through
We're never going to stop
We play too fast, we play too loud
I've heard it all before (Harcore!)
But every time we play a gig
They're coming back for more (Aaahh!)
A smoke filled bar, a rusty car
This is the life I lead
We'll bring our sound to your hometown
I guess we'll stick around
WHITE!... NOISE!... WHITE!... NOISE!
So don't tell us to turn it down
It's just too loud for you!
And don't tell us to change our sound
Cause we'll just say... SCREW YOU!
You might find, we're not your kind
But we've got our pride
So if you don't like Razor
then get your ass outside!!! (NOW!)

Chris Rea - As Long As I Have Your Love - lyrics

(4.49)
Ten Thousand princes
I've seen them all
I've seen them come
And I've seen them fall
I've watched them win
I've watched them loose
Since you've been around
No-one gets to choose
Because when the game begins
And the time is now
When there is no more talking
Only here and now
There is only here and now
I ain't seen anything quite like you
Ain't been anyone quite like you
Then Thousand princes
All backs against the wall
Then Thousand loosers
When the winner comes to call
How they scream in frustration
Ten thousand reasons why
The rhetoric is endless
I see the laughter in your eyes
Because when the game begins
And the time is now
When there is no more talking
Only here and now
Only here and now
I ain't seen anything quite like you
Ain't been anyone quite like you

Chris Rea - Because Of You - lyrics

I used to hang my head down low
Never knowing which way I was going
My life was getting close to the edge
And I knew that it was showing
Because of you
I can stand and hold my head up high
Because of you
I feel free and yet I dont know why
Each morning is a spring time song
With the sun up in the sky
The sadness that is on your face
Helped me to realise
I owe each day I have to you
And Ill pay you back some day
Youre reading me like a book
But I really would like to say
Because of you
I can stand and hold my head up high
Because of you
I feel free and yet I dont know why
Yes I do, its you
And Ill pay you back some day
Because of you
I have finally found my way

Chris Rea - Loving You Again - lyrics

Its been so long now since we first met
But the time and place I will never forget
Darling, never
Trough good and bad we stood the tested time
You say Im yours and darling youre still mine
Forever
So smile for me
cos its there for all to see
After all this time
Through the rain and tears
After all this time
After all these years
Im only loving you again
And Ill keep holding on girl I wont let go
I want you near me where ever I go
Please say, forever
And I give thanks for what youve given me
And in my heart girl therell always be
A light
That shines through the darkest night
After all this time
Through the rain and tears
After all this time
After all these years
Im only loving you again
So smile for me
cos its there for all to see
After all this time
Through the rain and tears
After all this time
After all these years
Im only loving you again
Through the rain and tears
Till the sun dries up the sea
Till the rivers they run dry
Im gonna be loving you again

Chris Rea - 90's Blues - lyrics

Well I look out of my window
I see the morning cold and grey
I look out of my window
I see the morning cold and grey
I told you so many years ago
Theyre all gonna end up, end up this way
Well the fat man took my money
And the daughter wont give it back
The fat man took my money
Sons and daughters wont give it back
Put my family out on the street
Put my marriage on the rack
Well they steal your water
And if you want some you got to pay
The greenies point their fingers
The people know better they dont listen what they say
They live in fear and frustration
Oh their crappy lives why should they give a toss anyway
Nineties blues
Nineties blues
Nineties blues

Chris Rea - Ace Of Hearts - lyrics

Could this be true
Could this be me
The one who kept himself so high and free
Caught up in the highest game of all
And all my defences tumble and fall
Only the ace of hearts can save now
I wake in early hours and call your name
Its your face I see pressed up against my window pane
And suddenly I realise
As the tears start to fall like rain from the sky
Only the ace of hearts can save me now
Said only the ace of hearts can save me now
Ace of hearts tell me whats this game were playing
Ace of hearts its all down to you
Im lost, lost like a child in a strange dream
Open your doors and pull me
Pull me trough
And Im flying like the wind in the dead of night
Flying so high searching for those landing lights
Ive never been this high before
But darling all I need is your love more and more
And only the ace of hearts can save me now
