ABBA - The Day Before You Came Lyrics

Love for ABBA is eternal

1982,, j'avais 19 ans.,,, ABBA et BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN seront Éternuement mes IDOLES

Уже 2019, а слушается как будто только что появился этот Шедевр!!! Спасибо АВВА!!!! Grande merci!

I am blown away!

Агнетта , какой вокал !...

if I remember correctly it was a hit december 1982 , after 37 years still going strong, and counting...!

It's not possible to state which was their best song. About four or five ABBA songs are easily included in the TOP 10 pop songs ever. But, for sure, this is their most iconic video...

Sorry all the great bands I love, like Beatles, Zepellin, Deep Purple and specially Alan Parsons, but the word MASTERPIECE has been raised to another level. Greets from Brasil

I wish Agnetha would smile at me like that.

Incomparável

each time i goto the end of the city (night horizon like deus ex) ... this song is in my mind...no lyrics.. only music.

Une voix magique, une présence, une beauté incomparable, la plus belle femme du monde.
Que des souvenirs!!!

This is the best song for ABBA, which unfortunately it was their last one.

ABBA's emotional journey is well reflected in their songs.How did they still manage to create masterpieces together, inspite of what they were going through in their personal lives?It is just amazing. I've been a huge Abba fan since childhood and I love singing all their songs.Cant thank them enough for filling my childhood with joy with their music

Benito Cerati says hi :3

absolutelly brillant!

No one ever said "business" as sweet as you did in this song... My all time favorite song ..

Buena,música.

что то знакомое...было в нашей эстраде.....

This piece never truly got the attention it deserved.
A pervasive sad poignancy through it all.
And it truly was but sometimes;
sometimes the time comes for all to end.
And while sad,
it is good thus.

I could watch 0.50 to 1.05 on a loop.15 seconds of bliss.

Must have left my house at eight, because I always do
My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due
I must have read the morning paper going into town
And having gotten through the editorial, 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 seventh 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
Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me away
At five 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 paper then
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within it's usual frame
The day before you came
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, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't 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
I must have read a while
The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style
It's funny, but I had no sense of living without aim
The day before you came
And turning out the light
I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain
The day before you came

Abba group the best of all times

Ove seen him on the platform at waterloo se1

love the song. weird that she's never in an office

and also like weird that is even abba she's clearly the star here

That signature aggy move. That lip bite

Timeless classic which is probably why The Great Unwashed British Public in their ignorance left it languishing at number 32 in the charts.

Piękna piosenka . ♥️♥️♥️♥️

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏

With love from Rotterdam this masterpiece is the best Ever Ever Ever and Ever i ever heard

Heb je gestemd op dit prachtige nummer voor de top 2000?

Агнетта Вы эталон ....Спасибо за творчество..🌍🇸🇪🇫🇮🇳🇴🇩🇪👍💗💖🇪🇪👏🇱🇹🎩

Ich liebe dieses Lied und diese Frau.

How come she needed 75 minutes to work but 180 minutes back home? Even with the stop to get some chinese food that's a long time.

Which will make you rush to where no one is waiting?

This music is timeless. I connected to it then and I connect to it now, almost 40 years later. It’s such a good description of daily live, and it has not changed that much really. One of my favourites of all time!

Супер! Обожаю АББУ, такие молодцы! Агнетте респект!

Where is the new album as promised !!!???
Waiting still.......
ABBA

Haunting as it always was, it’s desolation framed in the mundane, I have been haunted by this song for decades.

I never grow tired of this amazing masterpiece from Abba, The Day Before You Came, it still gets me everytime I hear it.

Mega Lied bis heute!!!!

Love Sweet Agnetha 🌹🌹🌹
Hope to meet Her 💕💜💖💋

I have been commuting to work by train for over 35 years and Agnetha has never turned up on my platform, oh well maybe tomorrow.

🤣🤣🤣

So much classical music overtones/undertones
A wee masterpiece.

Sandy...Wee. my ass. It's a masterpiece if there ever was one.

This beautiful lady must have stolen more male hearts across the globe than she could have ever imagined. The video 1.42 to 2.02 is utterly captivating, sensual without measurement, What red blooded man could not agree ?? (surely only one without a pulse !)

The old gooooood days when every thing was almost genuine and so, beautiful and not fake.

Brasil escuta ABBA e sente falta

Lovely...?

Bijuterie..te unge pe suflet!

The best of ABBA ever! This song is magical... VIVA ABBA for ever!!!

Красивая женщина! И мелодия! И слова... Я не знаю языка, но знаю... Они прекрасны! Мир вам! Да... Хочется жить! Благодарю.

My dad loved this song, he was a writer and he once wrote about this song, and how it showed how Boring life is, R.I.P dad.

I don’t understand this song . Their record producer did & said he didn’t have any understand how they recorded it . Both relationships had turned bad by this time. I sounds sad & lonely.

АББА это Агнешка белокурая,а остальные так на подхвате.

Pure poetry in song. Even the car wipers were in sink.

И песня , и клип . Просто СУПЕР !

HERMOSO TRABAJO, MUY BIEN LOGRADA LA PARTE ESTÉTICA Y EL MODO DE ENCUENTRO, 1 JOYA.... GRACIAS !!!

Sometimes the deepest sadness creates the greatest art.

Beautiful woman

Perfect pop.

The Best.
Thank you, ABBA.🙄

This is the peak of pop music. You just can't top this song within the pop genre. It's quite unique as well, it doesn't remind me of any other song I've ever heard. It's something enterily on its own.

This is favourite Abba song. It has such a lovely nostalgic "noir" feel.

One of their best!

C'est leur plus grand CHEF D'ŒUVRE parmi les Nombreux CHEFS DŒUVRES

Моя любимая песня у ABBA.

Эта песня хорошая

So Beautiful Abba At there Best

This sends shivers up my spine.. Agnetha looks a little like my ex-wife in this video, she burst into my life out of nowhere, gave me a few short years of incredible happiness, but who then just drifted slowly away... The train departing at the end is a perfect allegory. Beautiful song.

Why is this rated as their second best song yet just seems like a load of rubbish to me

The lip bite at 1.04......

The timeless lyrics apply to how modern life then and even more greatly now has made us all lose ourselves and identities to artificially imposed systems of structure in school and work that constrain us all from ever reaching our full potentials as human beings as we fall into a never ending routine that becomes boring and soulless. Silver lining is finding a new love can relieve that to some degree which is the hope it brings to not let the systems voiding us to take us over completely and find solace that we can escape the monotony created by authorities who make us do their will.

Oliver Keating I grew with you. It’s my very favourite ABBA song although I first heard it done by blancmange which is also very moving.

Hands down their best song IMO.

Exact., un CHEF D'ŒUVRE

Im fu*king 14years old and i hate that i acctually like this

This is the kind music of the music you should listen today. The best there is.

2019 anyone?

A Broken hart is a serious business. But It happens more often than car accidents. We learned how to deal with it. Just pack the bodies and pretend that we are cool again.

MY LOVE TE ADORO MI NIÑS SABES QUEC SI TE TUVIERA COMO MI ESPOSA TE HUBIETA CUIDADO DE RODILLAS MI NIÑA TE ADORO..MI AGENETS.💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋❤❤❤❤❤❤

This song is basically a short story but Agnetha singing it. I mean this song is amazing

💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

....where is the end of this...?...??

Living without aim...that's where I find myself now

Sort of boring isn't it. No great ABBA harmonies. It seems to be about two minutes too long.....

Esta canción me parece una genialidad. De mis favoritas no ya solo de Abba. Creo que ella está al borde de la afinación todo el rato. Aún así me gusta muchísimo. Viva Abba. Y que viva Agnetha

why, why, why did they stop that story. they could still make a lot of good music

Benny Andersson still makes great Music, but in Swedish, and not pop, but still great.
Like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2g20puCZ16s

He should have kept the paper upside down for the first time.They would have succeeded on the first try.What time to lose.

Everytime I think this song is wonderful...with a sensation of tragedy...

Amazing how the boys B and B have even advised Agnetha to sing this flat or from 'ordinary' woman point of view, she just can't sound nothing but good and bright with her ABBA-style. :)

I never came. I went MGTOW in 1997. Whoever I was supposed to marry might as well get some cats because I have no desire to be divorce raped.

One of the saddest songs I've ever heard. You all know that the adventure is over :((

Ich mag ABBA ansonsten überhaupt nicht!! Aber diesen Song kann ich immer wieder hören!!!!!

1982. I want to go back.

Loving this song!!!!

ABBA macht sentimental und immer wieder ist es eine Reise in die Vergangenheit für mich, wenn ich Sie höre...Als Kinder ( ca. 12 - 14,..ca.1979-'82 ) haben wir, 2 Jungs und 2 Mädchen, ABBA, deren privates Leben " gespielt" Mit Küssen und so ;))..Ich war Benny ;) ...Björn's Gitarre war ein Federballschläger, die Mikrophone 2 Taschenlampen...auch Wir haben uns seit über 30 Jahren nicht mehr gesehen,wohl auch seit deren Trennung, wenn, dann spielt man richtig ;)...Danke, ABBA, für eine friedliche, Handyfreie Kindheit :)
ABBA makes sentimental and again and again it is a journey into the past for me, if I listen to them ... As children (about 12 - 14, .. ca.1979-'82) we, 2 boys and 2 girls, "played" ABBA's, private life with kisses and such ;)) .. I was Benny ;) ... Björn's guitar was a badminton racket, the microphones 2 flashlights ... also We have not seen each other for over 30 years, probably since their separation, if, then you play right;) ... Thanks, ABBA, for a peaceful, mobile-free childhood :)

Thank you, great ABBA , for happiness to listen to these great masterpieces!!!
