Freddie Mercury, Montserrat Caballé - The Golden Boy (2012 Orchestrated Version / Single Edit)

And then he sang to her 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 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 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, hey I love you (yes, I love you) For your silence (for your silence) I love you for your peace (your peace) The still and calm releases Sweep into my soul But slowly, slowly take control He told the truth Yes, he told the truth (and he told the truth) Accepting every honour with a masterly display (display) Of well rehearsed reluctance to be singled out this way He started to believe (Who? Who?) That he was all they said and more (and more) She forgot, she forgot the reasons (reasons) She had wanted him before, yeah I love you (I love you for your passion) for your passion I love you for your fire The violent desire Burns me in its flame Oh, a love I dare not name The still and calm releases (releases) That sweep into my soul (sweep into my soul) Slowly (slowly) Slowly (slowly) Slowly (slowly) Slowly (slowly) Slowly (slowly) Slowly (slowly) Slowly Take control When at last they fell apart She wished that she could be the hardened heart of yesterday As cynical as he By changing for the better She had changed things for the worse The words that made them happy once Now echoed, echoed as a curse
