Is this the song?

QUEEN

A Winter's Tale

Words and music by Freddie Mercury

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 fantasizing
Grown-ups are standin' by
What a super feeling
Am I dreaming
Am I dreaming?
woh woh woh woh

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

(dreaming) A cosy fireside chat
(dreaming) A little this, a little that
(dreaming) Sound of merry laughter skippin' by
(dreaming) Gentle rain beatin' on my face

And the dream of the child is the hope of the hope of the man

It's all so beautiful
Like a landscape painting in the sky, yeah
Mountains are zooming higher, mmm
Little girls scream and cry
My world is spinning and spinning and spinning
It's unbelievable
Sends me reeling
Am I dreaming
Am I dreaming
Oooh it's bliss

Not like you, Bunty, to be ambiguous! Do you mean Freddie Mercury or David
Essex, amongst others?

No darling, this is not the one. The one I want was sung (I believe ) by
David Essex and begins:

It was only a Winter's Tale
Just another Winter's Tale
But why would the world take notice
Of one more love that's failed

Sorry Mark - I had a Heart Attack three weeks ago and am still wobbly. I
meant the David Essex one.
When my ex-husband left I sang Winter's Tale a lot. Then I swapped it
for Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" - much better!! [Grin]

No need for sorry. I was the one who failed to be specific.

Hope you're feeling better, Bunty!

i found a small wav here - and was able to get these lyrics
but not much more other than the fact that it's on "Living
in England" and was originally on "The Whisper" in 1983

The nights are colder now
Maybe I should close the door
And anyway the snow
Has covered all your footsteps
And i could follow you no more
The fire still burns at night

It's the Tim Rice tune is it not? I've searched a bit but no luck I'm
afraid.

The most annoying thing is that somewhere in my enormous collection of
sheet music, I have a copy and I just cannot find it.
