As Good As New
(B. Andersson, B. Ulvaeus)
I'll never know
Why I had to go
Why I had to put up such a lousy, rotten show
Boy, I was tough
Packing all my stuff
Sayin' I don't need you anymore, I've had enough
And now look at me standin' here again
Cause I found out that
Ma-ma ma-ma ma-ma ma-ma ma-ma ma-ma ma-ma ma
My life is here
Gotta have you near
As good as new
My love for you
And keepin' it that way is my intention
As good as new
And growin' too
Yes, I think it's takin' on a new dimension
It's as good as new
My love for you
Just like it used to be and even better
As good as new
Thank God, it's true
Darling we were always meant to stay together
Feel like a creep
Never felt so cheap
Never had a notion that my love could be so deep
How could I make
Such a dumb mistake?
Now, I know I'm not entitled to another break
But please, baby
I beg you to forgive
'Cause I found out that
Ma-ma ma-ma ma-ma ma-ma ma-ma ma-ma ma-ma ma
My life is here
Gotta have you near
As good as new
My love for you
And keepin' it that way is my intention
As good as new
And growin' too
Yes, I think it's takin' on a new dimension
It's as good as new (good as new)
My love for you
Just like it used to be and even better
As good as new (good as new)
Thank God, it's true
Darling we were always meant to stay together
I thought that our love was at an end
But here I am again
As good as new
My love for you
And keepin' it that way is my intention
As good as new
And growin' too
Yes, I think it's takin' on a new dimension
It's as good as new (good as new)
My love for you
Just like it used to be and even better
As good as new (good as new)
Thank God, it's true
Darling we were always meant to stay together
Yes, the love I have for you
Feels as good as new
Darling we were always meant to stay together

I Have A Dream
(B. Andersson, B. Ulvaeus)
I have a dream
A song to sing
To help me cope
With anything
If you see the wonder
Of a fairy tale
You can take the future
Even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream
I have a dream
I have a dream
A fantasy
To help me through
Reality
And my destination
Makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness
Still another mile
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream
I have a dream
I'll cross the stream
I have a dream
I have a dream
A song to sing
To help me cope
With anything
If you see the wonder
Of a fairy tale
You can take the future
Even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream
I have a dream
I'll cross the stream

Angel Eyes
(B. Andersson, B. Ulvaeus)
A a-ah
A a-ah a-ah ah
A a-ah
A a-ah a-ah ah
A a-ah
I keep thinking 'bout his angel eyes
I keep thinking, aah
Last night
I was takin' a walk along the river
And I saw him together with a young girl
And the look that he gave her made me shiver
'Cause he always used to look at me that way
And I thought
Maybe I should walk right up to her and say (aha-ha)
It's a game he likes to play
Look into his angel eyes
One look and you're hypnotized
He'll take your heart and you must pay the price
Look into his angel eyes
You'll think you're in paradise
And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise
Don't look too deep into those angel eyes
Oh, no no no no
A a-ah
A a-ah a-ah ah
A a-ah
A a-ah a-ah ah
A a-ah
I keep thinking 'bout his angel eyes
I keep thinking, aah
Sometimes
When I'm lonely I sit and think about him
And it hurts to remember all the good times
When I thought I could never live without him
And I wonder does it have to be the same
Every time
When I see him will it bring back all the pain? (aha-ha)
How can I forget that name
Look into his angel eyes
One look and you're hypnotized
He'll take your heart and you must pay the price
Look into his angel eyes
You'll think you're in paradise
And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise
Don't look too deep into those angel eyes
Crazy 'bout his angel eyes
Angel eyes
He took my heart and now I pay the price
You'll think you're in paradise
And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise
Don't look too deep into those angel eyes
Oh, no no no no
A a-ah
A a-ah a-ah ah
A a-ah
A a-ah a-ah ah
A a-ah
I keep thinking
A a-ah a-ah ah
I keep thinking 'bout his angel eyes
A a-ah
I keep thinking
A a-ah a-ah ah
I keep thinking I've had to pay the price
A a-ah
I keep thinking
A a-ah a-ah ah
I keep thinking 'bout his angel eyes
A a-ah
I keep thinking
A a-ah a-ah ah
I keep thinking I've had to pay the price

The King Has Lost His Crown
(B. Andersson, B. Ulvaeus)
I believe
Your new girl turned you down
And they say
she's pushin' you around
How does it feel
I guess it hurts your pride
Tell me, my friend
How many nights you've cried
Disaster and disgrace
The king has lost his crown
Suddenly he's clumsy like a clown
Aah
The world is upside down
The king has lost his crown
Was it hard
To step down from your throne
And to know
Tonight you're all alone
Oh, what a shame
You really want that girl
She doesn't care
Still you just dream of her
Disaster and disgrace
The king has lost his crown
Suddenly he's clumsy like a clown The world is upside down
The king has lost his crown
Disaster and disgrace
The world is all around
Suddenly he's clumsy like a clown
Aah
The world is upside down
The king has lost his crown

Does Your Mother Know
(B. Andersson, B. Ulvaeus)
You're so hot
Teasing me
So you're blue but I can't
Take a chance on a chick like you
It's something I couldn't do
There's that look
In your eyes
I can read in your face
That your feelings are driving you wild
Oh, but girl you're only a child
Well, I could dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And I could chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?
Take it easy (take it easy)
Better slow down girl
That's no way to go
Does your mother know?
Take it easy (take it easy)
Try to cool it girl
Take it nice and slow
Does your mother know?
I can see
What you want
But you seem pretty young
To be searching for that kind of fun
So maybe I'm not the one
Now, you're so cute
I like your style
And I know what you mean
When you give me a flash of that smile (smile)
But girl you're only a child
Well, I could dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And I could chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?
Take it easy (take it easy)
Better slow down girl
That's no way to go
Does your mother know?
Take it easy (take it easy)
Try to cool it girl
Take it nice and slow
Does your mother know?
Well, I could dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And I could chat with you baby

If It Wasn't For The Nights
(B. Andersson, B. Ulvaeus)
I got appointments
Work I have to do
Keepin' me so busy
All the day through
They're the things that keep me from thinkin' of you
Oh, baby I miss you so
I know I'm never gonna make it
Oh, I'm so restless
I don't care what I say
And I lose my temper
Ten times a day
Still it's even worse when the night's on it's way
It's bad
Oh, so bad
Somehow I'd be doin' alright
If it wasn't for the nights (if it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)
I'd have courage left to fight
If it wasn't for the nights (if it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)
How I fear the time when shadows start to fall
Sittin' here alone and starin' at the wall
Even I could see a light
If it wasn't for the nights (even I could see a light, I think that I could make it)
Somehow I'd be doin' alright
If it wasn't for the nights (if it wasn't for the nights I think that I could
take it)
No one to turn to
You know how it is
I was not prepared for
Something like this
Now I see them clearly the things that I miss
Oh, baby I feel so bad
I know I'm never gonna make it
I've got my business
To help me through the day
People I must write to
Bills I must pay
But everything's so different, when night's on it's way
It's bad
Oh, so bad
Somehow I'd be doin' alright
If it wasn't for the nights (if it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)
I'd have courage left to fight
If it wasn't for the nights (if it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)
How I fear the time when shadows start to fall
Sittin' here alone and starin' at the wall
Even I could see a light
If it wasn't for the nights (even I could see a light, I think that I could make it)
Guess my future would look bright
If it wasn't for the nights (if it wasn't for the nights I think that I could
make it)
If it
Wasn't
For the nights (if it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)
If it
Wasn't
For the nights (if it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)
Even I could see a light
If it wasn't for the nights (even I could see a light, I think that I could make it)
Guess my future would look bright
If it wasn't for the nights (if it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)
If it
Wasn't
For the nights (if it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)
If it
Wasn't
For the nights (if it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)
Even I could see a light
If it wasn't for the nights (even I could see a light, I think that I could make it)

Chiquitita
(B. Andersson, B. Ulvaeus)
Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong
You're enchained by your own sorrow
In your eyes
There is no hope for tomorrow
How I hate to see you like this
There is no way you can deny it
I can see
That you're oh so sad, so quiet
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
I'm a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend
I'm the one you must rely on
You were always sure of yourself
Now I see
You've broken a feather (how it hurts to see you cry and how it hurts to see you
sad)
I hope
We can patch it up together
Chiquitita
You and I know
How the heartaches come and they go
And the scars they're leavin'
You'll be dancin' once again
And the pain will end
You will have no time for grievin'
Chiquitita
You and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky
And shining above you (even though we cry the sun is shining in the sky, so)
Let me hear you sing once more
Like you did before (let me hear you sing some more the way you used to do
before)
Sing a new song
Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song
Chiquitita
So the walls came tumblin' down
And your love's a blown-out candle
All is gone
And it seems too hard to handle
Chiquitita tell me the truth
There is no way you can deny it
I see
That you're oh, so sad, so quiet
Chiquitita
You and I know
How the heartaches come and they go
And the scars they're leavin' (you and I we know how all the heartaches come and
go)
You'll be dancin' once again
And the pain will end (and you'll be dancing once again, and all the pain you
take will end)
You will have no time for grievin'
Chiquitita
You and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky
And shining above you (even though we cry the sun is shining in the sky, so)
Let me hear you sing once more
Like you did before (let me hear you sing some more the way you used to do
before)
Sing a new song
Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song
Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song

Sit down and listen
'Cause I got good news for you it

Kisses Of Fire
(B. Andersson, B. Ulvaeus)
Lay your head on my chest
So you hear every beat of my heart
Now there's nothing at all
That can keep us apart
Touch my lips
Close your eyes
And see with your fingertips
Things that you do
And you know I'm crazy 'bout you
Kisses of fire
Burning, burning
I'm at the point of no returning
Kisses of fire
Sweet devotions
Caught in a landslide of emotions (I've had)
I've had my share of love affairs
And they were nothing compared to this
I'm riding higher than the sky
And there is fire in every kiss
Kisses of fire
Kisses of fire
When you sleep by my side
I feel safe
And I know I belong
Still it's making me scared
That my love is so strong
Losing you
It's a nightmare, babe,
And to me it's new
Never before
Did you see me begging for more
Kisses of fire
Burning, burning
I'm at the point of no returning
Kisses of fire
Sweet devotions
Caught in a landslide of emotions (I've had)
I've had my share of love affairs
And they were nothing compared to this
I'm riding higher than the sky
And there is fire in every kiss
Kisses of fire
Kisses of fire
Kisses of fire
Burning, burning
I'm at the point of no returning
Kisses of fire
Sweet devotions
Caught in a landslide of emotions
Kisses of fire
Burning, burning (I'm at the point of no returning)
Kisses of fire
Sweet emotions (I'm riding higher than the sky and there is fire in every kiss)

Summer Night City
(B. Andersson, B. Ulvaeus)
Summer night city
Summer night city
Waiting for the sunrise
Soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight
Love-making in a park
Summer night city
In the sun I feel like sleeping
I can't take it for too long
My impatience slowly creeping
Up my spine and growing strong
I know what's waiting there for me
Tonight I'm loose and fancy-free
When the night comes with the action
I just know it's time to go
Can't resist the strange attraction
From that giant dynamo
Lots to take and lots to give
Time to breath and time to live
Waiting for the sunrise
Soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight
Love-making in a park
Summer night city
It's elusive
Call it glitter
Somehow something turns me on
Some folks only see the litter
We don't miss them when they're gone
I love the feeling in the air
My kind of people everywhere
When the night comes with the action
I just know it's time to go
Can't resist the strange attraction
From that giant dynamo
And tomorrow
When it's dawning
And the first birds start to sing
In the pale light of the morning
Nothing's worth remembering
It's a dream
It's out of reach
Scattered driftwood on the beach
Waiting for the sunrise
Soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight
Love-making in a park
Summer night city

Lovelight
(B. Andersson, B. Ulvaeus)
I've always hated my room
It's so gloomy and dreary
Always too dark
For the windows just face the back yard
So I
Can't understand how it's happened
How everything's changing
This old dirty ceiling seems a little whiter
When you walked into the room
It all got so much brighter
You must have a
Lovelight
Everything around you is
Lovelight
And I can feel your love anywhere (love that's shining)
Maybe even when you're not there (love that's shining)
Got lovelight
Everything around you is
Lovelight
You're shining like a star in the night (love that's shining)
I won't let you out of my sight (love that's shining)
I don't wanna lose you
I don't wanna lose your
Lovelight
How I remember
The first time we went to a movie
We had decided to meet
On a corner downtown
And I
Waited there when you came up from behind
And you kissed me
And the traffic seemed to get a little lighter
When you came into my life
It all got so much brighter
You must have a
Lovelight
Everything around you is
Lovelight
And I can feel your love everywhere (love that's shining)
Maybe even when you're not there (love that's shining)
Got lovelight
Everything around you is
Lovelight
You're shining like a star in the night (love that's shining)
I won't let you out of my sight (love that's shining)
I don't wanna lose you
I don't wanna lose your
Lovelight
And I feel so good
And I feel so high
And I know that
You must have a
Lovelight
Got lovelight
And I can feel your love anywhere (love that's shining)
Maybe even when you're not there (love that's shining)
You've got
Lovelight
Everything around you is
Lovelight
You're shining like a star in the night (love that's shining)
I won't let you out of my sight (love that's shining)
I don't want to lose you
I don't want to lose your
Lovelight
