Queen – Who Wants To Live Forever lyrics
Words and music by brian may

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
Its 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?

    Who wants to live forever was written at a sad time for Queen. I am led to believe this was penned by Brian May in late 1986, at the time May was going through a divorce and Freddie Mercury had just found out he was HIV positive. 'But touch my tears with your lips, touch my world with your fingertips and we can have forever' essentially is Mercury's way of saying 'I won't be around much longer, but don't feel bad for me, live with me'. This, to some degree sounds bittersweet as Mercury knew his days were limited, yet he was still determined to produce, not just songs but full albums.
