ABBA - The Day Before You Came

(upbeat bright music) ♪ I 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 ♪ (dramatic music) ♪ 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 ♪ (dramatic music) (dramatic music continues)
