Written by Freddie Mercury, “The Millionaire Waltz” is the fourth song off of Queen’s fifth studio album, A Day at the Races. The song gives off a similar feel to “Love of My Life” (from A Night at the Opera), in that it once again asks a lost love to come back.
This recurring theme reinforces the...
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Bring out the charge of the love brigade
There is spring in the air once again
Drink to the sound of the song parade
There is music and love everywhere
Give a little love to me (I want it)
Take a little love from me
I wanna share it with you
I feel like a millionaire
[Verse 2]
Once we were mad
We were happy, we spent all our days
Holding hands together
Do you remember, my love
How we danced and played?
In the rain, we laid
How we wish that we could stay there
Forever and ever
[Verse 3]
Now I am sad, you are so far away
I sit, counting the hours day by day
Come back to me
How I long for your love
Come back to me
Be happy like we used to be (Uuh, Uuuuh)
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Come back, come back to me!
Come back, come back to me!
Oh come back to me, oh my love
How I long for your love
Won't you come back to me?
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
My fine friend
Take me wiz you Unt love me forever
My fine friend, forever (forever)
[Outro]
Bring out the charge of the love brigade
There is spring in the air once again
Drink to the sound of the song parade
There is music and love everywhere
Give a little love to me (I want it)
Take a little love from me
I wanna share it with you
Come back, come back to me
You make me feel
You make me feel like a millionaire
