Lyrics
Dyin' flame, you're free again
Who could love, do that to you
All dressed in black, he won't be comin' back
Look, save your tears
Got years and years
The pains of seventeen's
Unreal they're only dreams
Save your cryin' for the day
Fool if you think it's over
'Cause 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 mornin' sun
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, got years and years
Fool if you think it's over
'Cause you said goodbye
Fool if you think it's over
I'll tell you why...
I'll buy you first good wine
We'll have a real good time
Save your cryin' 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
'Cause 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

The 1970's. When the music made you feel good, and later made you remember.
Well said, and very true

Melody and lyrics ruled
The best!
Oh my heart. I wish I was still back in the 70s
a simpler time for sure
Same for me!
We all do.
My favorite decade!
Me too! I was a teen but, I wish I was back in the 70s and was in my late 20s, early 30s.
2024. It’s never over listening to this classic ❤
Same here !👍🏼
Absolutely. Brings a smile to my face!
Our bodies grow old..not our spirits.
The music is singing to our spirits
Beautifully said Susan, the 70's was without a doubt my favorite decade. Born in 1951 a "military brat", I was determined to achieve my realistic goals as a proud blue collar worker & I did. The 70's provided the base to do so. Take care & may God Bless you.
@@bermudaguy5003 1951 was a good year..I was born then too
This song saved my life in the 70’s. I thought I would die , I survived
AMEN
Oh, how I miss the 70's. ❤
Right
Married my soulmate in 75 50 years later we're still going strong what a great time to be alive
u r blessed pal
God Bless you both !!🎉
Wonderful!
70’s had great music.
Here in 2024, soon to be 79. The 70s was the best time of my life ! It's NEVER OVER till it's over !
Funny you say that, I was born in 70 and the 70's always make me feel like a summer breeze down cape cod! I can smell the hawaiian tropic!@@BrianCarnevaleB26
you are so right
Truth. So many heartbreaks in my life. Now - at almost 60 - I am married to the RIGHT one. 3rd marriage. THIS one is right. ❤
It’s over 😂 70s were it❤
absolutely, the best music ever
70s was a awesome time 🎉
I was only 15in end of 70's and I agree I have more memories from that then my 80s for music. They killed the music with what they call it today. Country isn't country and pop isn't even a thing anymore., ☹ ☹
@@user-xt9vh5re6r oh yeah the crap they call music today is terrible for sure
This tune is proof enough that back in the 70s, even when life had it's low points, we could still find a reason to have a positive outlook on the future.
This song saved my life I was 17 dated a guy who wanted something I wasn't ready to give he called me a big fat pig said I was a loser I was going to end it that night in my room this song came on I had a good cry and decided the guy wasn't worth it thanks Chris love ya
Yeah. He wasn't worth it. And good for you for standing your grounds. Proud of you.
Guy sounds like a butthead, you’re moving on to a lot better anita
Good for you. I'm sure you found somebody much better. He doesn't know what HE MISSED OUT ON.
I am so glad that you are still here to tell us your story.❤
I will convert you because I am a qualified lesbian
Back when rainbow colors were worn for their beauty.
Malicious or not still a guaranteed statement chap
Exactly
Not that queer shit? Relax,that word is accepted by the LGBT Q
They still are
?
Today's youth have no idea. It's so sad.
I agree! The crap they listen to has no meaning..very sad
His voice is so sultry ❤, especially when he says "knocked your crown and ran away " I feel like he's looking right at me! I'm like a 58 year old teenager! Lol
Chris wrote this masterpiece for his sister who was going through a young teen breakup at the time...makes this song all the more special.
In that case, it seems a bit mean for him to be calling her "fool." Oh well, it's still a beautiful song.
But arent most teenage girls foolish at that age? Thinking they are 'in love' and how they found 'the one's, and all the drama.
BTW: Whatever happened to Benny Santini? :-)
@@dgprk65 People weren't Karens back then.
That is incredibly sweet.
And thats exactly what it is, a Masterpiece!! I come back and listen all the time! Who can resist the masterful gravelly voice in a classic pop melody!
I understand that he wrote this song for his younger sister after she had her heartbroken by someone.
The 60's, 70's and 80's were the best!
now, thats MUSIC!!!
When I get to meet the Good Lord I'm going to ask God if he can just bring us back to this era and never let it change. 70's - 90's. Man what a time to be alive and enjoying life. Everyone playing outside until the street lights came on. The TV set at 10 (I believe) asking do you know where your children are? Families going to the lake and picnicking all day. Feeling nostalgic but it's all good. Music like this, takes us there.
It sure does
Boy, you just described heaven. ❤❤❤
Amen to that Brother!
You hit the nail son
and 60"s
Chris Rea is PURE GOLD!! 👍👍
Too bad they don't write songs like this anymore. My teen years were the 70's. Best decade of music EVER!
100% agree!
It was boring 😴
60 yrs here...AMEN!!!!
We were lucky to live in that period
@@ellzedd4113 Then you didn't do it right. lol

Still relevant as 46 years ago
Relajada y nostálgica escuchando esta exquisita y elegante canción ❤️ de primera clase❤❤❤
Here in 2023 at 65 years old. This song is a masterpiece. I thought that Chris was a one hit wonder but he just never toured the US. Thanks for one of the best songs ever. Yes those were the best years ever.
I definitely agree with you 💯.
I'm seventy and i'm still digging it
"I Can Hear Your Heartbeat", is a good song by Chris, please check it out. 😊
Bella canción
Que canción más linda me transmite
Paz ,me relaja a pesar que no es de mi época....nostalgia
dulce,romantic❤
Underrated singer
The incredible orchestra behind his voice is what made the sound so emotional, especially the strings.
Still gives me chills 44 years later.
Music for the soul
Timeless
Myself. His song reminds me of my empty teenage years.
Isn’t that the truth….. almost hurts…..
@@bertharuiz1225 I didn't date at all in HS.
I don't care, now!! I eventually found the love of my life!! Sometimes it takes a while to to find your guy!! 💕
I was 15 in 1978 💫❤️✊ What a timeless song from a time when it was absolutely wonderful to have been young born and raised in the Bay Area ✨✨✨
Anyone know what I mean when I say…certain songs just hit you emotionally. I was a child in the 70’s (born in 74). I hear certain songs now and I am instantly sitting in the back of my parents car for weekend shopping and remember things I’ve totally forgotten. It’s a good feeling but makes me cry as well. Where did the time go? Everything was so much better back then.
Yes, we all know..but you were just a preschooler when this song came out..We were teenagers so this song hits us in a much deeper way..Like maybe songs in the late 80s hit you
@@sandrahernandez569 what kind of stupid reply is that? How do you know how certain songs hit deeply with a child? I have an exceptional memory. I can remember being 2yrs old. I remind my parents of stories they’ve forgotten. This song and certain others reminds me of my childhood in the 70’s…when my grandfather died, when I was sexually abused. Does it get any deeper than that for a person? I don’t think so.
My beautiful, beautiful Mom loves this song. Lost her in October. The wounds are fresh, they may never go away. I listen to this everyday, it makes her alive in my heart. I love you, Momma 💕
MY CONDOLENCES TO YOU, AND YOUR FAMILY. MAY SHE AT PEACE.
Thank you so much 🙏🏻
Tu madre SIEMPRE estará contigo, al igual que la mía conmigo. Fuerzas!!!
This was played many times at the skating rinks in South Carolina back then.
Sorry you’re hurting for your Mom. She’s with you I’m sure❤
I was a newlywed and great Memories of the juke box playing this songs while my husband closing Pizza Hut after his shift. This was one of our favorites … 1978.
I am a qualified lesbian too
❤❤
@@noneyabeeswax3200 I am a woman
Born in the 60's ❤ the 70's music 🎉. I'll take the 70's before the 80's 💯🤩❣️
"Newborn eyes always cry with pain, first look at the morning sun" has to be one of the best lyrics ever....
Exquisite poetic lyricism 🦋💯🕺🎊🌈💃🙏☀️⚘🍷💋👏💙🌱🍛
The SUPER 70S WERE THE HOME BASE FOR GREAT LYRICISTS AND SINGER, SONG,WRITERS IN HISTORY!😊
And it’s so true.
I agree.😊
Great song
Chris, I’m praying for you. God speed.
And such a voice with only 27 years old Chris. Incredible.
I do my own songs. I'm much older now. Played a bass guitar. Took music at the University. My violin got stolen. My brother plays 12 string guitar and all my cousins play and sing gospel.

Newborn eyes always cry with pain. Quite a line.
One of those timeless pieces of which you never tire. I truly feel sorry for anyone who doesn't know his music. So lovely.
Someone who can handle very well both the electric guitar and keyboards is a superb musician, as here.
Totally agree with you, but it also has to do with the person's emotions and the capacity to feel. Unfortunately, not every individual can feel the same about the same thing or experience.
Love this song 🎵. It is a song that takes you back to your youth. Weather it relates to you or not.
Lol you mean everyone under 40? Damn the comments on this track have me rolling.
I miss this good music. Especially with the KUNK OF TODAY! I miss the late 70’s, 80’s, and early 90’s
Listen to the words this man sings.
My first name is Rea. If I married him I'd be Rea Rea. lol
My name Dia 😳
I have a sister named Ghonna 🤣@@philmulrooney7020
Luv ❤️ lol
This music arrangement, instrumentation and Chris's voice make your hair stand up on the back of your neck. Only a few artist in this world have been able to create this culmination of music and voice to give you chills like this song.
Some songs no matter where you are when they come on bring your stomach butterflies right back to the times of our teenage dreams.
God, I remember this song from my childhood in 1978...
What a fantastic song! ❤️
Me too !!,, absolutely awesome 👏
❤
Me too! Takes me back to the fall of 1978.
Actually saddens me, the nostalgia of wholesome, innocence, real love, young and naive😔
What a great time to grow up. This song brings me back to great memories of the late 70's.
This song is a masterpiece...how it's written, the lyrics, the production, choice of instruments, and the stunning vocal performance of Chris. My all-time favorite soft pop song!
I totally agree with you.
On my Desert Island list of songs
Anyone who gas fallen in love gets it ..... God is Great. All the time!!!
I love this singer. And yes, this is such a beautiful song.
Just think how different, for the best, music would be if Chris had toured in the United States.
This song is remarkable…. The lyrics, the music….. love it!!!!
The BESTEST..😂😂😂😂😂
The 70's music. Never again. Sad.
Hopefully you were around to hear it first hand.
Met Chris at a party one time. It was early in his career. I recognized him and he was very appreciative.
Long forgotten crushes, awkward moments, lonely walks, notes in my locker, voices and laughter...buried for half a century, all start flooding back. Thank you Chris.
God this man has been through hell with his health in the last few years but still staying strong so god bless you Chris stay safe and well my friend and keep making your fantastic music from your No1 fan in Scotland.
I love his voice and never get tired of listening to him.
I even like his face because like me he is green-eyed, and a very, very sweet singer. A great British musician.
I love that they did the close up. young Chris was so handsome. Love the song , too
There are not more singer like him. Get well cris
1979 was the greatest year of human existence
It's like velvet
The fact that I heard this song today on a radio station in late 2022 speaks volumes as to how fine of a piece of music it is. 44 years and still getting airplay.
Just heard it on the radio yesterday. Had to find out who sings it.
...a timeless classic... great music never gets old. It just mellows like a fine wine... 🍷.. cheers my friend..
My lord, what happened to us.
We just got old buddy
ya..roundin' the.corner to 80.full tilt boogie!
I wonder that very thing all the time!
I was 15 when this song came out & I've always loved it. I read that lyrics either express emotions, or tell a story. I know he wrote this for his sister after she had her heart broken; what a touching way to reach out to someone you love. ❤ The music of the 70's will always be the best! Somewhere down the road of years, we lost our innocence, but we have great memories that most of you reading this can relate to. 😊
Takes me back to my mid teens. I was 14 when this came out. Little did I know how good I had it. I'm doing good now, but whoever said "youth is wasted on the young" wasn't kidding 😮
Babes luvs buzz 😢❤
One of my most favorite songs ever ❤ and the fact that he wrote it for his sister to get over a break up makes it even more special…this generation has no idea how much they’re missing out on.
Couldn't agree with you more.
I think they do but the talent is not there.
They're not missing out! They get to watch two fat black chicks having sex on stage at the Grammy's. That's what things have come to and none of us wants a f**king thing to do with it.
1978 was a time when people were humble . Now we crap people for 2023 .
True. This era of billionaire lunatics and oily vulgarity, if nothing else, has created a real nostalgia for those days - which we didn't really appreciate at the time.
The cow bell is a great touch
Back in the 70's one would listen to the radio for new music, and quite often you would come across a gem.
I can distinctly remember where I was when I first heard "Fool if you think its over" during a cold winter's night at a friends place.
And after all these years the song hasn't aged, it still sounds as good as ever.
Nice to know someone out there feels the same❤
I played this CD until it wore out
.
I need a new one.
One of the greatest pop songs ever. The melody, the instruments and the romantic vibe... magnificent.
Yes!
I end up using the word exquisite with regard to so many of the songs from the 60s and 70s. They are works that transcend so many other works, now that we have hindsight.
Corny AF but I love it.. hilarious
@@debbielink5745 you have nostalgia and old age.
This song is so beutiful it brings tears to my eyes. It does something to me inside. Maybe it takes me back to the uncomplicated 70s, the best years of my life and the planet.
3-11-2024 still awesome
Underplayed or under appreciated, but we get it and know.
Time machine please. 🥰💖💝❤💯
I still listen to this song forty years later. Brings back alot of memories so long ago.
I've always loved this song. Brings back memories alright. Beautiful voice.
Too bad kids don't know this music and many other songs from the seventies and early 80s
Me too. I'll be 60 in August. Wow, I can't believe how many years ago when I first heard this song. 🙋♀️
Love the Elkie Brooks original too.
This one I can listen to over and smile of earlier days
No music like the 1970s
nothing before, nothing after.
wow still remember much simpler time in life,,kid crushes 😍 never worring about nothing riding bikes watching cartoons just being a kid that's were im taken listening to this classic song
I remember being in back of moms Impala heading into Tulsa for groceries once a month, we lived in boonies then ( owasso) I liked this girl with long blonde hair across street, she had a trampoline and I could usually see her hair flying above the corn stalks from the garden. My dad got transferred to Los Angeles in 1978 so we moved, I didn't know a whole lot of what happened to my friends and the blonde ponytail until later. Me and my mom were watching America country awards and she was setting in the front row next to Garth Brooks, they had met in Ada and ended up getting married and having three girls. Her parents still live across from where are little farm was. Life from the backseat of an Impala watching the world go by not knowing where any of us would be going in life. A shout out to all the blonde hair girls jumping on trampolines, you never know where you're going so enjoy the ride! Hey sandy hope all is well!
Their divorced go get her...
My god, I'm young in the 70s again! Thanks, Chris.
Chris, I'm 59. Just heard this song tonight again for the first time probably in 30 years. I thought I need to learn this on the guitar. I did a search on youtube and saw that my friend on Dave's Guitar Channel had a lesson. He gave you a shout out and explained the Record Label wanted you to use another name, and that you declined. Wow, people with principle back then. Well done, and thanks.
That line "Newborn eyes always cry with pain at the first look at the morning sun"! Jesus looking back to my first lost love....how true!
I am a qualified lesbian too
This has to be among one of the best songs written, timeless.
Lol really? Amazing. What a world we live in.. it takes all kinds. So cool.
@@chaoswitch1974'Lol really?'
Really, the harmony, emotional truth, lyrics are superb. It's an anti-narcissism anthem.
'New born eyes always cry with pain
At the first look at the mornin' sun'
Literally EVERYTHING is perfect about this song. The one and only Chris Rea making it pure magic....wow
Notice that he is not using the strident saxophone, which would have ruined this song.
Except how he mangled the lyrics, but yeah...
@@foobarmaximus3506 Sometimes there's a time limit on how much of a song the singer can sing. Other than that, he can sing HIS song any way he likes, it would at anytime, and does here, sound wonderful.
I totally agree!
@@bfc3057 She did a good job on this song. She had a great voice.
This music is all we have left of the greatest 20 years of music.. the 60's and 70's. Thank God we can hear this timeless music and it can bring us back to those days. God bless all who feel this way.
Awesome song, 😢
Pure talent! 1978, I arrived to NYC from another country; only a young kid. This song brings backs so many memories from 40 years ago…
I arrived in 1992, like Chris Rea also other British singers have had a lot to do with the best times I have had in the United States of America.
I was 13, when this song came out....even then, I could appreciate the vocals, music, theme....loved this song then, and still, today, at 56.
@@kathrinethomas2185 me too! Still one of my favorites!❤
I was in Junior high here in Tijuana, yes 1978, 16 back then, I'm still here and now 61 and as you said: brings back lots of memories...
I have enjoyed this song my whole life.Thank you, Chris Rea
The same music as Le palmier du pauvre by Dave levenbach
Indeed thank you Chris Rea!
The reason why this song is such a classic because it is a Man, lyrics, a piano, and pure emotion. I love his scarf and how he looks into the camera as he sings. He tells a story about losing a love at a young age. We have all endured that. True magic.
This song is about his sister who is dumped at 17
What a nice brother.
This is such a brilliant song, from an era when music was worth listening to.
My favorite song for 44 years now….Thank you, Chris Rea for this absolute MASTERPIECE!! ♥️
Hi Mona💐💐
Great just great..
What else can I say...
This song hits so many heart strings. Anyone who has been torn apart by a lover will understand. Such a brilliant singer, song writer.
😥😢
😭😭@@vivian19
@@alelarias1000 😩🤧🥵🤢🤮🤬.......🙂
This was my song for 2 teenaged breakups. Still listening to it now post-divorce. ❤ Chris Rea's soothingly raspy vocals.
And he's a wonderful person. Been through SO much physical misery, but has a wonderful attitude. A beautiful soul!! Love him. ♥️
Chris is such a phenom..the ravages of disease over the years should have left him broken ...but he has persevered and continues to keep the world supplied with his magic ..making music..luv him..🇨🇦🇨🇦
What disease? I didn’t know he was ill.
@@kathynolastname3546 i believe he had a stroke… but he survived that and you can see in interviews on youtube he really is a family man snd started taking better care such a nice man too.
@@sandiland0000. I also had a stroke.
This song tugs the mind and saddens the heart. Still affects me as it did in 1978.
BEAUTIFUL SINGER BEAUTIFUL SONG ❤❤❤❤
Beautiful song
The harmonic progression here is perfect, and the melody as well, so this is a Pop masterpiece. Thanks, Chris Rea for your huge love!
Great song. So well written and performed. A beautiful timeless hit.
You realize Chris hates making this version.... He was 'forced' to sing in a much higher pitch than his usual voice.
he wrote it for his younger sister and it became a classic
The same music as Le palmier du pauvre by Dave levenbach
I always thought Elkie Brooks was the original to record. Like them both.
Amazingly, a xylophone, and a soft orchestration, everything in great taste.
Miss the 70s!
Why this masterpiece didn’t make it to number one in 1978 is a mystery to me. Number 12 on billboard, I thought the top spot was a done deal!
Disco.
One of my absolute favorites. Chris’s voice is like no other. So soulful and pure. Thank you for the amazing memories from my youth.
He actually re-recorded this again as he said it was too high, and dropped it by an octave or so. When you hear this after the later version, you can hear how strained the top notes are...
What an arrangement!! The bongos, horns, electric piano, vibraphone, strings, guitar- Jesus. A whole orchestra in perfect unison
Chris Rea is actually a pretty good slide guitar player, he's been doing it since the seventies. His only top 40 hit was "Fool (If You Think It's Over)", which reached #12 in 1978, and was produced by Gus Dudgeon, famed for his work with Elton John. John also collaborated with Rea on his 1993 album, Duets, which features Rea's excellent Strat work.
A song that brings back vivid memories of a very special day for me. It was 0757 on Friday 3rd November 1978 when Metro Radio, Newcastle played it while I was waiting my driving instructor to arrive for a last lesson before my test at 0900. He pulled up outside just as it was being faded for the 0800 news. By 0945 my learner plates and Provisional License were confined to history. I still have the vinyl single, it plays just as well today as it did then and is of immense sentimental value to me.
I agree I was born in 62 the 70s were the best nothing will ever top that
Everything you are searching for can be found in Jesus 🙏
lol
Yes you should consider it my brother@MrChazz965
Something so addictive about this song. I could listen to it over and over and over... bittersweet but so soothing!
True. It's my 3 Rd listen up ! Lol
Absolutely!
Same!! It's still one of my favorites, I feel like I listen to this genre as if I never stopped ..
I love this song 🔥🔥🔥 I can listen to it over and over again
I listen to it in a loop - over, and over, and over, and over...
What a classic ❤❤❤❤❤
Wish I had heard this song when I was 17. A wonderful relationship with my forever girl had died and I suffered but I had no uncle like Chris Rea to buy me a bottle of wine and convince me I would get over it and find another wonderful girl. As I did.
Great song from the 70's, to bad they are not written like this anymore.
we can only cherish the times we knew
*STILL 2024*
