legacy, not only approved of but deftly adjusted, tweaking a word here, a chord there, refracted musician.’ The feeling is mutual: for Benny ‘she is such a personality but completely professional,
through Benny’s orchestrations and Martin Koch’s musical direction. As Benny notes, totally devoted to the song as it was’. And that deep, resonant voice is unmistakeable.
‘This is really joyful work’.
This is a sparkling collection. An irresistible mix of irrepressible joy, laughter, tears and ABBA.

Knowing me, knowing you Last night Don’t look too deep He’ll take your heart
It’s the best I can do I was taking a walk – Into those angel eyes And you must pay the price
Memories, good days, bad days Along the river Oh no no no no Look into his angel eyes
They’ll be with me always And I saw him Ah–ha–ha, ah–aaaah You’ll think you’re in paradise
In these old familiar rooms Together – Ah–ha–ha And one day you’ll find out

Nothing to say That he gave her I keep thinking ‘bout his angel eyes
Knowing me, knowing you Made her shiver I keep thinking, a–aaah
Ah–haa Cause he always used Sometimes when I’m lonely
There is nothing we can do To look at me that way I sit and think about him
Knowing me, knowing you And I thought maybe I should walk And it hurts to remember
Ah–haa Right up to her and say All the good times

This time we’re through It’s a game he likes to play I could never live without him
This time we’re through Look into his angel eyes And I wonder
This time we’re really through One look and you’re hypnotized Does it have to be the same
This time we’re through He’ll take your heart Every time when I see him
We’re really through And you must pay the price Will it bring back all the pain?
Breaking up is never easy, I know Look into his angel eyes Ah–ha–ha
But I have to go He wears a disguise
I have to go Don’t look too deep
This time I have to go Into those angel eyes
This time I know ‘Crazy ‘bout his angel eyes
Knowing me, knowing you Angel eyes,
It’s the best I can do He took my heart now I must pay the price
Knowing me, knowing you, Look into his angel eyes
Ah–haa You’ll think you’re in paradise
There is nothing we can do. And one day you’ll find out he wears a disguise
Knowing me knowing you, Don’t look too deep
Ah–haa Into those angel eyes
We just have to face it Oh no no no no
This time we’re through Ah–ha–ha
This time we’re through I keep thinking a–aaah
This time we’re really through I keep thinking
This time we’re through About his angel eyes
We’re really through Ah–ha–ha

Though we never thought
That we could lose
There’s no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
Now we’re old and grey Fernando
And since many years
I haven’t seen a rifle in your hand
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
Do you still recall the fateful night
We crossed the Rio Grande?
I can see it in your eyes
How proud you were to fight
For freedom in this land
There was something
I lay my life before you In the air that night
bo I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU I only want you more and more The stars were bright, Fernando
Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus
& Stig Anderson
And finally it seems They were shining there For liberty, Fernando
My lonely days are through For you and me Though we never thought
I, I have known love before For liberty, Fernando That we could lose
I thought it would no more I’ve been waiting for you
Ohhhh Though we never thought There’s no regret
Take on a new direction That we could lose If I had to do the same again
Still, strange as it seems to be I’ve been waiting –
– For you There’s no regret I would, my friend, Fernando
It’s truly new to me If I had to do the same again Yes, if I had to do the same again
That affection I would, my friend, Fernando I would, my friend, Fernando
I, I don’t know what you do bp FERNANDO There was something
You make me think that you Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus
& Stig Anderson In the air that night
Will change my life forever The stars were bright, Fernando
I, I’ll always want you near Can you hear the drums Fernando?
I remember long ago They were shining there
Give up on you, my dear For you and me
I will never Another starry night like this
You thrill me, you delight me In the firelight Fernando
You please me, you excite me You were humming to yourself
You’re all that And softly strumming your guitar
I’ve been yearning for I could hear the distant drums
I love you, I adore you And sounds of bugle calls
I lay my life before you Were coming from afar
I only want you more and more They were closer now Fernando
And finally it seems Every hour every minute
My lonely days are through Seemed to last eternally
I’ve been waiting for you I was so afraid Fernando
I’ll carry you all the way We were young and full of life
And you will choose the day And none of us prepared to die
When you’re prepared to greet me And I’m not ashamed to say
I’ll be a good mum, I swear The roar of guns and cannons
You’ll see how much I care Almost made me cry
When you meet me There was something
You thrill me, you delight me In the air that night
You please me, you excite me The stars were bright, Fernando
You’re all that They were shining there
I’d been yearning for For you and me
I love you, I adore you For liberty, Fernando

bq MY LOVE, MY LIFE br SUPER TROUPER
Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus
& Stig Anderson Benny Andersson & Björn Ulvaeus
I’ve never felt this strong I was sick and tired of everything,
I’m invincible, how could this go wrong When I called you last night from Glasgow,
No, here, here’s where we belong All I do is eat and sleep and sing,
I see a road ahead Wishing every show was the last show,
I never thought I would dare to tread So imagine I was glad to hear you’re coming
Like an image passing by Suddenly I feel all right,
My love, my life And it’s gonna be so different,
In the mirror of your eyes When I’m on the stage tonight.
My love, my life Tonight the Super Trouper lights are gonna find me,
I can see it all so clearly Shining like the sun,
All I love so dearly Smiling, having fun,
Images passing by Feeling like a number one.
Like reflections of your mind Tonight the Super Trouper beams are gonna
My love, my life blind me,
Are the words I try to find But I won’t feel blue, Shining like the sun I know it’s gonna mean so much tonight
My love, my life Like I always do, Smiling, having fun, Tonight the Super Trouper lights are gonna find me,
But I know I don’t possess you ‘Cause somewhere in the crowd there’s you Feeling like a number one. Shining like the sun
With all my heart – God bless you Facing twenty thousand of your friends, Tonight the Super Trouper beams are gonna Smiling, having fun
You will be my love and my life How can anyone be so lonely, blind me, Feeling like a number one.
You’re my one and only Part of a success that never ends, But I won’t feel blue Tonight the Super Trouper beams are gonna
I held you close to me Still I’m thinking about you only. Like I always do, blind me,
Felt your heart beat There are moments when I think I’m going crazy Cause somewhere in the crowd there’s you But I won’t feel blue
And I thought: I am free But it’s gonna be alright So I’ll be there when you arrive Like I always do,
Oh yes, and as one are we Everything will be so different when I’m on the The sight of you will prove to me I’m still alive Cause somewhere in the crowd there’s you.
In the now and beyond stage tonight. And when you take me in your arms Super Trouper lights are gonna find me
Nothing and no one can break this bond Tonight the Super Trouper lights are gonna find me And hold me tight
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
All I love so dearly
Images passing by
Like reflections of your mind
My love, my life
Are the words I try to find
My love, my life
But I know I don’t possess you
With all my heart – God bless you
You are still my love and my life
Yes I know I don’t possess you
With all my heart – God bless you
You are still my love and my life
You’re my one and only

bs THE DAY BEFORE YOU CAME I must have read a while The day before you came And rattling on the roof I must have heard
The latest Margaret Atwood book or something And turning out the light the sound of rain
Benny Andersson & Björn Ulvaeus
in that style I must have yawned and settled in for yet The day before you came
I must have left my house at eight because It’s funny, but I had no sense of living without aim another night
I always do
My train, I’m certain, left the station just when
it was due
I must have read the morning papers going
into town
And having gotten through the editorials,
no doubt I must have frowned
I must have made my desk around a quarter
after nine
With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting
to be signed
I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve
or so
The usual place, the usual bunch
And still on top of this I’m pretty sure it must have
rained
The day before you came
I must have lit my second cigarette at half
past two
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
I must have kept on dragging through the business
of the day
And without really knowing anything I hid a part
of me away
At six I must have left, there’s no exception
to the rule
A matter of routine, I’ve done it ever since
I finished school
The train back home again
Undoubtedly I must have read the evening papers
then
Oh yes, I’m sure my life was well within
its usual frame
The day before you came
I must have opened my front door at
eight o’clock or so
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese
food to go
I’m sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
There’s not a single episode of House of Cards that
I have failed to see
I must have gone to bed around a quarter
after ten
I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed
by then
