ABBA-If It Wasn't For The Nights

ABBA-If It Wasn't For The Nights




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 its 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 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 its way
It's bad, oh, so bad

Somehow I'd be doing 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)
Guess my future would look bright if it wasn't for the nights

Howdy Rob, Surfing around tonite enjoying some ABBA tunes. I've always liked this partricular video. I found this on a DVD I bought at a yard sale a few years back. It is the studio recording they did for Japan with the dancers in the way of their performance. It had no formatting on it so it was obviously a bootleg but it is still crisp and clear. Keep up the good work. Lenny

@Grandpaw2511 Thanks Lenny, the girls were just HOT here in this show. One of my favorite performances from Japan.

[FanofKaren]

The clarity of this video is amazing. Makes it that much more enjoyable to watch. The girls look incredible in their costumes. Love Frida's unique dancing moves. Thanks Rob.

@FanofKaren Ya, we've had some good times over this video, Jim. It's one of my favorites, what am I saying, it's ABBA they're all favorites! I think Rutger Gunnarsson had the most fun watching Frida. Big smile, good reason! Thanks for stopping by, enjoyed the comment.

It is always fun to see our favorite band have so much fun. Benny is clearly enjoying himself at the piano, his grin is contagious! Love the HD here!

[frapistat]

@abbashalom62 Rutger Gunnarssons grin at 1:59 was very contagious too. Although I think he's smiling for a whole different reason than Benny. lol Thanks CJ

Thank you, thank you Rob for this! This is certainly a top 3 song of theirs, a shame it was never released as a single.  Aside from ABBA - The Movie on Blu-Ray, you made my day with Frida in HD! I'll have to get ABBA in Japan and play it upconverted in 1080p, until they bring out a Blu-Ray of it...

ABBA's Japanese hosts never seemed to spare expenses when the group played a date there. even the sets for the TV appearances were over the top with imagination and creativity. i think ABBA really enjoyed the extra effort and i think it shows in the results, great fun. excellent quality post, Rob :))

Again great video and very good this song.Julia

@frapistat If I was forced to stand behind those two georgous ladies every night, the undertaker would never get the grin off my face.

[birdman2ns]

@ frapistat.. did you get this from the dvd of the complete studio recordings?

Maravilloso, nada mejor que escuchar este grupo.
