Freddie: This next song from album called "A Night at the Opera",
we are family plays this song
and it's called "Love of My Life".

Love of my life you've hurt me
You've broken my heart, and now you leave me
Audience: Love of my life can't you see
Audience: Bring it back, bring it back

Audience: Don't take it away from me, because you don't know
Audience: What it means to me

Love of my life don't leave me
You've stolen my love, you now desert 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

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
Audience: I still love
You
I still love you
Don't you forget it

Oh hurry back, hurry back
Don't take it away from me
Because you don't know what it means to me
Audience: Love of my life
Audience: Love of my life
Ooooh
Yeah

Thank you

Freddie: This next song and it's a willy, hm,
Like a musical to the song from "The Rescuers Down Under",
and it's called "Save Me".

Ummm yeah
