Love Of My Life


"Love Of My Life" is a song by the British band Queen, written and performed by their lead vocalist Freddie Mercury. It was released in 1975 on their album "A Night at the Opera" and remains one of their most popular ballads. The song is in the key of C major and was originally played on the piano. Freddie Mercury wrote the song as a dedication to his then-girlfriend, Mary Austin.
