Mistletoe and Wine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mistletoe and Wine is a popular single by Cliff Richard.
Written by Jeremy Paul, Lesley Stuart and Keith Strachan it was originally performed by Twiggy in a TV musical based on Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Match Girl in 1986. Richard liked the song but wanted to change the lyrics to reflect a more religious theme, to which the writers agreed. Cliff's 99th single, it became his 12th UK number one single, spending four weeks at the top in December 1988 - selling 750,000 copies in the process. It was also used in a British public information film about drink driving, with the intention of scaring motorists.
The song was later covered by The Mediaeval Baebes.
