Song lyrics
There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams yet slips away
From us

Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever....?

There's no chance for us
It's all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us

Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?

Who dares to love forever?
When love must die

But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today

Who waits forever anyway?

I absolutely love this song! I can't listen to it too much! I can cry so much when I hear it, especially if watching the music video at the same time. It's also easy enough to sing along to For being a song by Queen that is, Queen songs are generally difficult to sing along to simply because of Freddie's amazing voice and vocal range!

This song is perfection. There are very few songs in the world I would define as "perfect," but this is definitely one of them. I cry every single time I hear it, for the last 17 years that I've been obsessed with it. It's just so beautiful.

Great song of corse but I think the reason people think of Freddie so much is becuz he always took things to the next level while writing. He wrote the best song in the world so he deserves all the credit he gets maby Brian should get a little bit more but its not fait to say that freddie gets to much ..anyways Queen are simply the best

One of the saddest and best songs of queen. Granted everyone knows of bohemian rapsody and we will rock you but this song moves me like no other song by anyone.
Queen and Freddie Mercury really know how to work a crowd and if you've ever seen this in one of their live DVDs or if you're lucky enough to have been to a live concert you'll have seen how much this song can affect people.
Queen are the ultimate rock band and they will never be forgotten.
P.S. In my own humble opinion I think that Brian May is the best of the queen song writters and people concentrate far to much on Freddie. Yes he was the best front man that has ever been so far, but the others deserve far more credit than what they get

GJ Brian and Freddie, I'm listening to this song right now and it's sooooo beatiful. I can feel the shivers when the strong part is on 3:16 very powerful indeed!

I cry all the time when I hear this... It just is so bloody beautiful.... This was the song that really got me into Freddie Mercury's voice on a whole... The first time I heard this song I was really severely depressed, and just listening to this song was an incredible way to understand what was going on just because of the sort of emotional release you feel whenever you listen to this song... It's abso-bloody-lutely gorgeous in every sense... You just get so emotionally tied to the mood and the lyrics... it's just... wow...
"Touch my tears with your lips......and we can have forever. And we can love forever. Forever is ours today." Wow.
I also have to say that this is another one of my theme songs... If my life were a movie, this would be on the sound track... in fact, in place of just plain instrumental music swelling during a love scene, this song would be playing...
