I Love Abba

I've seen it on your face
Tells me more than any worn-out old phrase
So now we'll go separate ways
Never again we two
Never again, nothing i can do

Like an image passing by, my love, my life
In the mirror of your eyes, my love, my life
I can see it all so clearly
(see it all so clearly)
Answer me sincerely
(answer me sincerely)
Was it a dream, a lie?
Like reflections of your mind, my love, my life
Are the words you try to find, my love, my life
But i know i don't possess you
So go away, god bless you
You are still my love and my life
Still my one and only

I've watched you look away
Tell me is it really so hard to say?
Oh, this has been my longest day
Sitting here close to you
Knowing that maybe tonight we're through

Like an image passing by, my love, my life
In the mirror of your eyes, my love, my life
I can see it all so clearly
(see it all so clearly)
Answer me sincerely
(answer me sincerely)
Was it a dream, a lie?
Like reflections of your mind, my love, my life
Are the words you try to find, my love, my life
But i know i don't possess you
So go away, god bless you
You are still my love and my life
Yes i know i don't possess you
So go away, god bless you
You are still my love and my life
Still my one and only

Love me or leave me, make your choice but believe me
I love you
I do, i do, i do, i do, i do
I can't conceal it, don't you see, can't you feel it?
Don't you too?
I do, i do, i do, i do, i do

Oh, i've been dreaming through my lonely past
Now i just made it, i found you at last

So come on, now let's try it, i love you, can't deny it
'cos it's true
I do, i do, i do, i do, i do

Oh, no hard feelings between you and me
If we can't make it, but just wait and see

So come on, now let's try it, i love you, can't deny it
'cos it's true
I do, i do, i do, i do, i do
So love me or leave me, make your choice but believe me
I love you
I do, i do, i do, i do, i do
I can't conceal it, don't you see, can't you feel it?
Don't you too?
I do, i do, i do, i do, i do

They came flying from far away, now i'm under their spell
I love hearing the stories that they tell
They've seen places beyond my land and they've found new horizons
They speak strangely but i understand
And i dream i'm an eagle
And i dream i can spread my wings

Flying high, high, i'm a bird in the sky
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, high, what a feeling to fly
Over mountains and forests and seas
And to go anywhere that i please

As all good friends we talk all night, and we fly wing to wing
I have questions and they know everything
There's no limit to what i feel, we climb higher and higher
Am i dreaming or is it all real?
Is it true i'm an eagle?
Is it true i can spread my wings?

Flying high, high, i'm a bird in the sky (i'm an eagle)
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, high, what a feeling to fly (what a feeling)
Over mountains and forests and seas
And to go anywhere that i please

And i dream i'm an eagle
And i dream i can spread my wings

Flying high, high, i'm a bird in the sky (i'm an eagle)
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, high, what a feeling to fly (what a feeling)
Over mountains and forests and seas
High, high, i'm a bird in the sky (i'm an eagle)
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, high, what a feeling to fly (what a feeling)
Over mountains and forests and seas
And to go anywhere that i please

Down in the street they're all singing and shouting
Staying alive though the city is dead
Hiding their shame behind hollow laughter
While you are crying alone on your bed

Pity cassandra that no one believed you
But then again you were lost from the start
Now we must suffer and sell our secrets
Bargain, playing smart, aching in our hearts

Sorry cassandra i misunderstood
Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted but none of us could
Listen to words of warning
But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep
Sorry cassandra i didn't believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hour

So in the morning your ship will be sailing
Now that your father and sister are gone
There is no reason for you to linger
You're grieving deeply but still moving on
You know the future is casting a shadow
No one else sees it but you know you're fate
Packing your bags, being slow and thorough
Knowing, though you're late, that ship is sure to wait

Sorry cassandra i misunderstood
Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted but none of us could
Listen to words of warning
But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep
Sorry cassandra i didn't believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hour

I watched the ship leaving harbour at sunrise
Sails almost slack in the cool morning rain
She stood on deck, just a tiny figure
Rigid and restrained, blue eyes filled with pain
Sorry cassandra i misunderstood
Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted but none of us could
Listen to words of warning
But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep
Sorry cassandra i didn't believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hour

I'm sorry cassandra
I'm sorry cassandra

Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness
And i have to sit down for a while
The feeling that i'm losing her forever
And without really entering her world
I'm glad whenever i can share her laughter
That funny little girl

Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do i really see what's in her mind
Each time i think i'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table
Barely awake, i let precious time go by
Then when she's gone there's that odd melancholy feeling
And a sense of guilt i can't deny
What happened to the wonderful adventures
The places i had planned for us to go
(slipping through my fingers all the time)
Well, some of that we did but most we didn't
And why i just don't know

Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do i really see what's in her mind
Each time i think i'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sometimes i wish that i could freeze the picture
And save it from the funny tricks of time
Slipping through my fingers...

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Schoolbag in hand she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile...

No smiles, not a single word at the breakfast table
Though i would have liked to begin
So much that i wanna say, but i feel unable
You leave and you slam the door
Like you've done many times before
And i cry and i feel so helpless

One man, one woman
Two friends and two true lovers
Somehow we'll help each other through the hard times
One man, one woman
One life to live together
One chance to take that never comes back again
You and me, to the end

Outside i can see the sun through the open window
Inside everything feels so cold
What's wrong, what is happening, where did all our love go?
Sometimes when i just can't cope
I cling to a desperate hope
And i cry and i feel like dying

One man, one woman
Two friends and two true lovers
Somehow we'll help each other through the hard times
One man, one woman
One life to live together
One chance to take that never comes back again
You and me, to the end

Daydreams of a better life, but i have to wake up
The sound of the key in the door
You smile and i realise that we need a shake-up
Our love is a precious thing
Worth the pain and the suffering
And it's never too late for changing

One man, one woman
Two friends and two true lovers
Somehow we'll help each other through the hard times
One man, one woman
One life to live together
One chance to take that never comes back again
You and me, to the end
You and me, to the end

I've seen you twice, in a short time
Only a week since we started
It seems to me, for every time
I'm getting more open-hearted

I was an impossible case
No-one ever could reach me
But i think i can see in your face
There's a lot you can teach me
So i wanna know......

What's the name of the game?
Does it mean anything to you?
What's the name of the game?
Can you feel it the way i do?
Tell me please, 'cause i have to know
I'm a bashful child, beginning to grow

And you make me talk
And you make me feel
And you make me show
What i'm trying to conceal
If i trust in you, would you let me down?
Would you laugh at me, if i said i care for you?
Could you feel the same way too?
I wanna know......

The name of the game

I have no friends, no-one to see
And i am never invited
Now i am here, talking to you
No wonder i get excited

Your smile, and the sound of your voice
And the way you see through me
Got a feeling, you give me no choice
But it means a lot to me
So i wanna know......

What's the name of the game?
(your smile and the sound of your voice)
Does it mean anything to you?
(got a feeling you give me no choice)
(but it means a lot)

Could you feel the same way too?
I wanna know......
Oh yes i wanna know......
