I heard a beautiful soulful song on Paul Allen’s Sundays with Soul program on KOOL108. With lyrics reading like a Contemporary Praise song but with a voice and rhythm speaking of love between man and woman, Freddie Mercury sang One Year of Love back in 1986.   It was written by John Deacon, who also wrote “You’re My Best Friend“, “Another One Bites the Dust“, and “I Want to Break Free”
According to Wikipedia:

One Year of Love is the third track on the first side of Queen’s 1986 album A Kind of Magic and also appears in the film Highlander. It was written by bassist John Deacon. A Kind of Magic was the band’s twelfth studio album, and was based on the soundtrack to the film Highlander. One Year of Love features a string orchestra conducted by Lynton Naiff and a saxophone played by Steve Gregory. Guitarist Brian May is absent in this song

One Year of Love
Just one year of love
Is better than a lifetime alone
One sentimental moment in your arms
Is like a shooting star right through my heart
Its always a rainy day without you
I’m a prisoner of love inside you -
I’m falling apart all around you - yeah
My heart cries out to your heart
I’m lonely but you can save me
My hand reaches for to your hand
I’m cold but you light the fire in me
My lips search for your lips
I’m hungry for your touch
Theres so much left unspoken
And all I can do is surrender
To the moment just surrender

And no one ever told me that love would hurt so much
Oooh yes it hurts
And pain is so close to pleasure
And all I can do is surrender to your love
Just surrender to your love
Just one year of love
Is better than a lifetime alone
One sentimental moment in your arms
Is like a shooting star right through my heart
It’s always a rainy day without you
I’m a prisoner of love inside you
I’m falling apart all around you
And all I can do is surrender
