Lyrics: (lyrics in
black are sung by Brian May, lyrics in red are sung by Roger
Taylor)
A hand above the water
An angel reaching for the sky
Is it raining in heaven
Do you want us to cry?
And everywhere the broken hearted
On every lonely avenue
No-one could reach them
No-one but you
One by one
Only the good die young
They're only flying too close to the sun
And life goes on
Without you
Another tricky situation
I get to drownin' in the blues
And I find myself thinking
Well, what would you do?
Yes, it was such an operation (oooh,
oooh, oooh)
Forever paying every due (oooh, oooh,
oooh)
Hell, you made a sensation (a sensation)
You found a way through (oooh, found a
way through)
One by one
Only the good die young
They're only flying too close to the sun
We'll remember
Forever
And now the party must be over
I guess we'll never understand
The sense of your leaving
Was it the way it was planned?
And so we grace another table
And raise our glasses one more time
There's a face at the window
And I ain't never, never saying goodbye
One by one
Only the good die young
They're only flying too close to the sun
Crying for nothing
Crying for no-one
No-one but you
