FOOL IF YOU THINK IT´S OVER - CHRIS REA

En 1978, se editó la mejor obra de Chris Rea: Fool if you think it´s over.

Letra:
A dying flame, you're free again
Who could love and do that to you
All dressed in black, he won't be coming back
Save your tears, you've got years and years
The pains of seventeen's
Unreal they're only dreams
Save your crying for the day

Fool if you think it's over
'Cos you said goodbye
Fool if you think it's over
I'll tell you why
New born eyes always cry with pain
At the first look at the morning sun
You're a fool if you think it's over
It's just begun

Miss teenage dream, such a tragic scene
he knocked your crown and ran away
First wound of pride and how you cried and cried
But save your tears you've got years and years

Fool if you think it's over
'Cos you said goodbye
Fool if you think it's over
I'll tell you why
New born eyes always cry with pain
At the first look at the morning sun
You're a fool if you think it's over
It's just begun

I'll buy your first good wine
We'll have a real good time
Save your crying for the day
That may not come but anyone
Who had to pay would laugh at you and say

Fool if you think it's over
'Cos you said goodbye
Fool if you think it's over
I'll tell you why

Christopher Anton Rea, nació el 4 de marzo de 1951 en Middlesbrough, Inglaterra.
"Benny Santini" es el título de su primer disco, y en un principio pensó en adoptarlo como nombre artístico, idea posteriormente desechada, para ser Chris Rea.
De su extensa carrera musical destacan los éxitos Fool(if you think it's over), On the beach, Josephine, Looking for the summer, Julia, Auberge, Road to hell, la deliciosa balada Heaven, entre muchos otros.
En el año 2002, tras superar un grave cáncer (las posibilidades de sobrevivir eran de un 50%), su música volvió a las raíces jazz-blues.
Tras la gira europea de 2006 y la edición de su set "Blue Guitar", obra compuesta por 11 CDs temáticos y diseño del propio artista, su carrera bajo el nombre de Chris Rea deja paso a "The Fire Flies", su nueva banda.
