Queen: The Greatest Legend Lives Forever

Love Of My Life

Love of my life, you've hurt me
You've broken my heart and now you leave me
Love of my life, can't you see?
Bring it back, bring it back
Don't take it away from me, because you don't know
What it means to me
Love of my life, don't leave me
You've taken my love, you now desert me
Love of my life, can't you see?
Bring it back, bring it back (back)
Don't take it away from me
Because you don't know
What it means to me
You will remember
When this is blown over
And everything's all by the way
When I grow older
I will be there at your side to remind you
How I still love you (I still love you)
Hurry back, hurry back
Please bring it back home to me
Because you don't know what it means to me
Love of my life
Love of my life
Ooh, Ooh

♪ Song fact: This song, which was written, sung, and played by Freddie Mercury (with guitar sequences added in by Brian May), nearly instantly became a fan favorite and was played at nearly every Queen concert. It was especially popular in South America. Often, Freddie would stop singing and allow the crowd to carry on the tune (as can be seen in their Live in Rio compilation). This song details the plight of a man who's been abandoned by his lover. He feels that the love that has been taken from him affects him far more than it does his lover, and pleads, "Bring it back home to me because you don't know what it means to me." On the Return Of The Champions Queen and Paul Rodgers CD, Rogers calls this a "Freddie Song," says that he can't sing it as well as him, and tries anyway. Since Mercury's death in 1991, May often handles live vocals on the song, and it becomes a touching tribute to the late frontman - particularly when performed solo or with Kerry Ellis. Often at Queen shows the crowd will sing a huge part of the song and cause May to get rather emotional. But also it was rather said that Mercury wrote this song for his used to be fiancé, longtime partner, bestfriend, and most trusted person Mary Austin.
