Love of My Life
Orchestra Regina; Queen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 (all of my love) and now desert 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)

Back, hurry back
Please bring it back home to me
Because you don't know what it means to me (ooh-ooh-ooh, know, means to me)
Love of my life




Love of my life
Oh, oh

It was a bit funny cause since he didnt know who had turned and when Ina Wroldsen made herself known and told him that she was going to be his mentor, he had one immediate thought.

– «Ah, my God. Was it her?”, he says, laughing.

Thomas, who has followed The Voice for a number of years, had repeatedly told his girlfriend that he hoped to avoid Wroldsen as a mentor. It’s not because she’s not a good lady, but because she’s a bit tough and quick with her lines. I don’t know if I could have taken it, he explains.

When she was the only one who turned, he thought, “Of course it was you.”

The fact is that I’m a bit like Ina myself, which is funny. I can be a little rude in the line myself, if I first get the hang of it. We actually fit together much better than I thought from the beginning, he says with a laugh. 🥴

My favourite Queen song, sang so beautifully by this young man…. Well done sir.

@user-ry6zv1pt8e

His version is like story telling with angelic voice♥️

@HH-mz2pw

They're such a small country, yet they have more amazing singers in the Voice than any other country I've ever followed. Go Norway! ❤️🤍💙

@PedroBaleeiro

Yes, I have noticed this. Norwegian singers are just built different

@jowinho1183

Small country? It's over 2000km from the south to the north

@PedroBaleeiro

​@@jowinho1183 small in terms of population, just 5,5 million people. Area isn't everything, Russia has the most area but is only the 9th in population.

@jefflim1838

Its very big and long country

@HH-mz2pw

Haha, a very interesting conversation seems to be going on in here. Obviously I was talking about the population. I refer to my home country Finland as a small country, too as we have a very small population. But geographically speaking we're a very big country, just like Norway. But that is totally irrelevant in this case, isn't it?

One of the best blind audition so far. Voice blend and diction was good.
