[Verse 1: Freddie Mercury]
The boy had a way with words, he sang, he moved with grace
He entertained so naturally, no gesture out of place
His road in life was clearly drawn, he didn't hesitate
He played, they saw, he conquered as the master of, as the master of his fate
[Verse 2: Montserrat Caballé]
The girl had an iron soul no-one could recognise
Material ambition that her gentleness disguised
She gave herself to him certain of his fame
Wanted him for luxury, for limelight and his name
[Bridge: Choir]
And then he sang to her
[Chorus 1: Freddie Mercury]
I love you for your silence, I love you for your peace
The still and calm releases that sweep into my soul
That slowly take control
[Chrous 2: Montserrat Caballé]
I love you for your passion, I love you for your fire
The violent desire that burns me in its flame
A love I dare not name
[Verse 3: Choir and Freddie Mercury]
His rise was irresistible (yeah) - he grew into the part
His explanation simply that he suffered for his art
No base considerations of some glittering reward
The prize was knowing that his work was noticed and adored
