Josephine is one of the most popular and the most successful song by Chris Rea, released in 1985 on the Shamrock Diaries. Josephine was written by Rea for his daughter of the same name. Rea would later pay the same compliment to his youngest daughter, Julia, on the album Espresso Logic (1993).

The lyrics:

There's rain on my window

But I'm thinking of you

Tears on my pillow

But I will come through

Josephine, I'll send you all my love

And every single step that I'll take

I'll take for you

My,Josephine

There's a storm on my radar

But I can still fly

Oh,and you are the reason

The blue in my sky

Josephine

A life without meaning

I was walking away

In the coldest of winters

Night becomes a day

Josephine, I'll send you all my love,

And every single step that I'll take

I'll take for you

My,Josephine, I'll send you all my love, babe

Josephine, I'll send you all my love, babe

---and when I'm far away (oh, so far away)

I'll send you all my love

(bridge)

(chorus):

---- ...... I'll send you all my love

(Rea):

......Josephine...

---- ......I'll send you all my love

(Chorus):

---- ......I'll send you all my love
