The Day Before You Came

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Agnetha Fältskog] I must have left my house at 8:00 because I always do My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due I must have read the morning paper goin' into town And havin' gotten through the editorial, no doubt, I must have frowned I must have made my desk around a quarter after 9:00 With letters to be read and heaps of papers waiting to be signed I must have gone to lunch at half past 12:00 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 [Verse 2: Agnetha Fältskog] I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past 2:00 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 5:00, I must have left, there is 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 its usual frame The day before you came [Vocalisations: Frida] [Verse 3: Agnetha Fältskog] I must have opened my front door at 8:00 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 10:00 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 [Outro: Agnetha Fältskog] 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 [Vocalisations: Frida]
