Information: Following conventional lyric notation practice, words are broken into syllables to interpret the phrasing of the lyrics. Each word syllable in the lyrics below represents a note on the vocal part of this arrangement. A hyphen '-' or trailing hyphens following a word syllable indicates that the word syllable is extended over more than one note. ============================= Title: A Winters Tale Key Signature: Bb Minor Artist: David Essex Songwriters:Mike Batt/Tim Rice Copyright:April Music Ltd/Batt Song Ltd/64 Square/Pendulum/Warner Bros.Music Ltd HR:MN:SC Total Running Time:00:04:18 ============================= INTRO . . . . . . . . . . The nights are cold-er now May-be I should close the door
And an-y-how the snow has cov-ered all your foot-steps and I can fol-low you no more
The fire still burns at night My mem-o-ries are warm and clear
But eve-ry-bo-dy knows it's hard to be a-lone at this time of year -
It was on-ly a win-ters tale Just a-noth-er win-ters tale
And why should the world take no-tice of one more love that's failed -
A love that could nev-er be though it meant a lot to you and me
On a world-wide scale we're just a-noth-er win-ters tale
While I stand a-lone A bell is ring-ing far a-way I won-der if you hear
I won-der if you're listen-ing I won-der where you are to-day
Good luck, I wish you well for all that wish-es may be worth I hope that love and strength
are with you for the length of your time on earth
It was on-ly a win-ters tale Just a-noth-er win-ters tale
And why should the world take no-tice of one more love that's failed -
A love that could nev-er be though it meant a lot to you and me
On a world-wide scale we're just a-noth-er win-ters tale
It was on-ly a win-ters tale Just a-noth-er win-ters tale
And why should the world take no-tice of one more love that's failed -
A love that could nev-er be though it meant a lot to you and me
On a world-wide scale we're just a-noth-er win-ters tale
