April Lady
Queen · Queen In Nuce
She won our hearts the arts she loved
Is painting pictures for free
When she was done she hung them up
For all the children to see
Goodbye April lady
It's been good to have you around
Goodbye April lady
You've done a lot for the folks in this town
The children learned to read
She strung their beads
It's sorry she was the one
As you can see isn't she good
She don't leave nothing undone
Goodbye April lady
It's been good to have you around
Goodbye April lady
You've done a lot for the folks in this town
She taught them all to love
She was their cream
And we don't want her to go
But we know too well
She fell in love
And there's no stopping her so
Goodbye April lady
It's been good to have you around
Goodbye April lady
You've done a lot for the folks in this town
Goodbye April lady...

April Lady
Released on Queen's 1973 album In Nuce, April Lady stands as a quintessential example of the band's progressive rock evolution. The track features Freddie Mercury's distinctive falsetto and intricate guitar work by Brian May, showcasing the group's ability to blend theatrical flair with complex musical structures. While often associated with their earlier hard rock era, the song reflects a more polished, studio-oriented approach that would define their subsequent work. It remains a staple of their discography, frequently performed live and celebrated for its melodic beauty and emotional depth within the context of 1970s rock music.
