Billy Squier - I Have Watched You Fly (Tribute to Freddie) текст песни

Time….slipping through our fingers all the time….
You can say it doesn't matter
Time…..always seemed the last thing on your mind….
'til one day it's all behind you
You were not the one to say that love comes cheap…
You gave your everything and more - that’s what you wanted
I have watched you fly…and I have shared your freedom….
I can't believe my eyes - can it be that its over now…
I can't say goodbye to all those dreams we started…
'Cause I have watched you fly……I want you back where you belong
Why…you could never be too careful with your life…
Always reaching out for something……
Life…one lonely chance to touch the stars so high…
Did you risk it all for nothing?
We have come so far…but is the cost too steep?
To give up everything…everything you wanted
I have watched you fly….and I have shared your struggle
And somewhere down inside, I know your love will make me strong
You have lost your heart, but you have shown your courage
And I will do my part, to make it right when you are gone
Whaay oh... Whaay oh... Whaay oh......... Whaay oh ...Whaay оh ... Whaay oh
We have come so far...but is the cost too steep?
To give up everything...everything and more ....that's what you wanted
(Remember)
I have watched you fly...and I have shared your freedom
I can't believe my eyes - can it be it's over now
I can't say goodbye to all those dreams we started
'Cause i have watched you fly....I want you back...
(One more time)
I have watched you fly, and I have shared your struggle
And somewhere down inside, I know your love will keep me strong
You have lost your heart, but you have shown your courage,
And I will do my part, to make it right when you are gone
Time…..fly, fly on……..

Написана Сквайером на следующий день после смерти ФМ. Спонтанно. За сутки. Была сыграна вживую только в 1998 на открытии пьесы Mercury: The Afterlife and Times of a Rock God (кто слышал о такой?). Концертная запись оказалась в его альбоме Happy Blue (Радостная грусть) в том же 98-м
