Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Love of my life can't you see
(Please bring it back) bring it back, bring it back (back)
Don't take it away from me (take it away from me)
Because you don't know (ooh ooh ooh know means to me)
What it means to me
Who will remember
When this is blown over
And everything's all by the way - (ooh yeah)
When I grow older
I will be there at your side to remind you
How I still love you - (i still love you)
Ooh, 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

Brian doesn't get enough recognition for how beautiful his voice is
Jayson James Guerta
Thomas Pappalardo yeah he can be a lead to any other band but its because freddy is on another level
Thomas Pappalardo
Jayson James Guerta Yeah, but Brian and the others also sang lead on queen certain songs - Brian’s All Dead, All Dead is one of my favorite Queen songs and I like his rendition better than the outtake of Freddie singing it.

Hi Thomas! You're absolutely right!
Gave me shivers and goosebumps, especially the last high note!
Ivan Carlos Brito
Beautiful voice, best guitar player of the world, composer, and yet a doctor in astrophysics.
I think he doesn’t get recognized by his voice because the comparison is with Freddie.

That's for sure

Songs like this one make life worth living. There are no words that can describe how beautiful it's written and how beautifully Brian sang it. It's so hard to believe that despite all the sins and mistakes humanity bears it was able to create such a jewel.
