Quotes and Lyrics by Chris Rea

Driving home for Christmas
With a thousand memories
I take a look at the driver next to me
He's just the same

Thank God I'm not on Twitter. My career would have been over years ago.

There is nothing wrong with going to bed with someone of your own sex. People should be very free with sex, they should draw the line at goats.

I've always wanted to smash a guitar over someone's head. You just can't do that with a piano.

Music has healing power. It has the ability to take people out of themselves for a few hours.

I could never go onstage in denims.

Silent night, holy night!
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree
Thy leaves are so unchanging
Not only green when summer's here
But also when it's cold and drear
O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree
Thy leaves are so unchanging

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you

Snow is fallin′
All around me
Children playin'
Having fun
It′s the season
Love and understandin'
Merry Christmas everyone!

We don't need to worry
'Cause when we fall, we know how to land
Don't need to talk the talk, just walk the walk tonight
'Cause we don't need permission to dance

Don't you think we got another season
That come after spring?
I wanna be your summer
I wanna be your wave
Treat me like a comma
I'll take you to a new phrase

And I know there's no makin' this right, this right
And I know there's no changing your mind, your mind
But we both found each other tonight, tonight
So if love is nothing more than just a waste of your time

Waste it on me, waste it on me
