Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh, you make me live
Whatever this world can give to me
It's you you're all I see
Ooh, you make me live now, honey
Ooh, you make me live

Oh, you're the best friend that I ever had
I've been with you such a long time
You're my sunshine and I want you to know
That my feelings are true
I really love you
Oh, you're my best friend

Ooh, you make me live
Ooh, I've been wandering 'round
Still come back to you (still come back to you)
In rain or shine, you've stood by me girl
I'm happy at home (happy at home)
You're my best friend

Ooh, you make me live
Whenever this world is cruel to me
I got you to help me forgive
Ooh, you make me live now, honey
Ooh, you make me live

Oh, you're the first one when things turn out bad
You know I'll never be lonely
You're my only one
And I love the things
I really love the things that you do
Oh, you're my best friend, oh

Ooh, you make me live, live, live, live

I'm happy, happy at home
You're my best friend
Oh
Oh, you're my best friend





Ooh, you make me live
Ooh, you're my best friend

I’ll never know how Freddie’s voice can be so powerful yet so gentle at the same time. You can tell he puts all of himself into his performances and yet he still looks so carefree and easy. RIP Freddie. You are a legend, and you will be loved and revered until the end of time.
