I've Been Waiting for You
ABBA - Abba Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I, I've been in love before
I thought I would no more
Manage to hit the ceiling
Still, strange as it seems to me
You brought it back to me
That old feeling

I, I don't know what you do
You make me think that you
Possibly could release me
I think you'll be able to
Make all my dreams come true
And you ease me

You thrill me, you delight me
You please me, you excite me
You're something I'd been pleading for
I love you, I adore you
I lay my life before you
I'll have you want me more and more
And finally it seems my lonely days are through
I've been waiting for you

I, I'm gonna make you mine
You're gonna feel so fine
You'll never want to leave me
I feel you belong to me
Someday you will agree
Please, believe me

You thrill me, you delight me
You please me, you excite me
You're something I'd been pleading for
I love you, I adore you
I lay my life before you
I'll have you want me more and more
And finally it seems my lonely days are through




I've been waiting for you
Oh, I've been waiting for you

شكرا لما قدمتموه صعب تكرار هؤلاء والاصعب وصفهم . قمة الرومانسية والاحاسيس المفعمة بالمشاعر الجياشة .بعدكم ذهب جمال ذلك كله نستعيد ذكرياتنا الحلوة بكم بدموع احلى وأمر.هناك مسحة من حزن دفين في اعماقهم يطغى عليها سرور فيسر به المتلقي في ان واحد. اذا اردت معرفة السبعينات ف ابا خير مثال

@danitadmor

Isn't this beauty of a song one of the most underrated ABBA songs that exist? - 'like' if you agree :)
