A Winter's Tale Lyrics

It's Winter-fall
Red skies are gleaming - oh -
Sea-gulls are flyin' over
Swans are floatin' by
Smoking chimney-tops
Am I dreaming...
Am I dreaming...?

The nights draw in
There's a silky moon up in the sky - yeah -
Children are fantasising
Grown-ups are standin' by
What a super feeling
Am I dreaming...
Am I dreaming...?
woh-woh-woh-woh

(dreaming)
So quiet and peaceful
Tranquil and blissful
There's a kind of magic in the air
What a truly magnificent view
A breathtaking scene
With the dreams of the world
In the palm of your hand

(dreaming)
A cosy fireside chat
A little this, a little that
Sound of merry laughter skippin' by
Gentle rain beatin' on my face
What an extraordinary place!
And the dreams of the child
Is the hope of the man

It's all so beautiful
Like a landscape painting in the sky - yeah -
Mountains are zoomin' higher - mm -
Little girls scream an' cry
My world is spinnin' and spinnin' and spinnin'
It's unbelievable
Sends me reeling
Am I dreaming...
Am I dreaming...?
Oooh - it's bliss.

Cover art for A Winter's Tale lyrics by Queen

Gosh, bless him. He was terribly ill when he wrote this song, and he recorded the vocals two weeks before he died (so I believe).

Despite that, it remains one of his most beautiful pieces of music. Brings tears to my eyes (and trust me - I'm not one to cry over songs), the sheer perfection of it.

Freddie Mercury was truly an incredible person. R.I.P.

Yeah you are right. He wrote this song 2 weeks before his death. He did the vocals and the music. He never did that but he knew that time was running out and that there wont be enough time for the "normal" procedure.

(found that on wikipedia)

This was the last song that Freddie Mercury wrote. It is credited Queen, but it was actually Freddie who wrote it. I think it is one of the most beautiful songs ever!!

it's also (i'm 99% sure) the last song that freddie recorded his vocals for, therefore meaning the last words he ever recorded for a song were "it's bliss". a beautiful song by a brilliant man. anyways, that's what i think...

No, the last vocals that Freddie recorded was for the song "Mother Love" although he didn't finish it. So it could be that this is the last song that Freddie finished. I don't know about that.

Freddie wrote this on his balcony in Montreux I think. Wow....

@technics was wrote in the Duckhouse,\r\nThe small house on the “Made in Heaven”album which is at the bottom of a Huge villa that you can hire(it’s a lot of money as I have done it once)

Last thing Freddie recorded the vocals for was mother love. I don't know about other people but do you not think that the few albums by Queen (particularly Innuendo and Made in Heaven) are just beautiful in some parts. This song for example, make you appreciate life.

beautiful song by queen - again.

To write a song about the beauty of life and with such a positive outlook on life, when he was obviously so close to death and ravaged in such pain, then to haul himself into the studio to record it, is a true testament to the sort of man Freddie Mercury was.

A showman to the end.
