ABBA : Move On (With CC Lyrics) HQ

Move On (working titles Yippee Yay, Big John, Joanne, Love For Me Is Love Forever) is a waltz style song from their 1977 release, ABBA: The Album. The lead vocals were performed by Björn Ulvaeus in the first verse and by Agnetha Fältskog in the second and third verses. It was released as a single with Mamma Mia in Chile in 1978.
The Spanish version of Move On, Al Andar (or El Andar) was recorded in January of 1980 for ABBA's Spanish language album Gracias Por La Música with Spanish lyrics by Buddy and Mary McClusky.

Due to the Cold War, Western music was actively discouraged throughout Eastern Europe at the time. Despite this ABBA: The Album sold an unprecedented million copies in Poland in 1977, exhausting the country's entire allocation of foreign currency. In Russia, only 200,000 copies were permitted to be pressed. However, demand within the USSR indicated they could have sold 40 million copies. wikipedia

They say a restless body can hide a peaceful soul
A voyager and a settler, they both have a distant goal
If I explore the heavens, or if I search inside
Well, it really doesn't matter as long as I can tell myself
I've always tried

Like a roller in the ocean, life is motion
Move on
Like a wind that's always blowing, life is flowing
Move on
Like the sunrise in the morning, life is dawning
Move on
How I treasure every minute
Being part of it, being in it
With the urge to move on

I've travelled every country, I've travelled in my mind
It seems we're on a journey, a trip through space and time
And somewhere lies the answer
To all the questions why
What really makes the difference
Between all dead and living things, the will to stay alive

Like a roller in the ocean
Life is motion
Move on
Like a wind that's always blowing
Life is flowing
Move on
Like the sunrise in the morning
Life is dawning
Move on
How I treasure every minute
Being part of it
Being in it
With the urge to move on

The morning breeze that ripples the surface of the sea
The crying of the seagulls that hover over me
I see it and I hear it
But how can I explain
The wonder of the moment
To be alive, to feel the sun that follows every rain

Like a roller in the ocean
Life is motion
Move on
Like a wind that's always blowing
Life is flowing
Move on
Like the sunrise in the morning
Life is dawning
Move on
How I treasure every minute
Being part of it
Being in it
With the urge to move on

Well, this is....different. First listen, I'm like, "Whaaaaaat?"

But, a few more times it's not bad.  Not one of my faves, but it's fine.

Love the pics of Agnetha, like around 1:47, in that Pocahontas dress and pigtails.

Shay, what a wonderful combination of music and pictures. This is one of my favorites. The line "How I treasure every minute, Being part of it, Being in it' always speaks to me about a philosophy of life and how to embrace it. Thanks for sharing your talents once again.
