Day After Day
Elisabeth Andreassen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Loneliness is out of sight, I’m headin’ for a new sensation
Might as well be said and done, you noticed my intention
Anyhow, I’m feelin’ quite all right
Take me in your arms and hold me tight
Day after day, over and over, yes, I’ve tried
Day after day, over and over, don’t know why
You’re gonna say: “Honey, okay”, day after day
Tryin’ hard the best I can, got nothing left to lose now
Wantin’ you to be my man, but I ain’t gonna let you choose now
Since the day you came around, my life turned upside down
Anyhow, I’m feelin’ quite all right
Take me in your arms and hold me tight
Day after day, over and over, yes, I’ve tried
Day after day, over and over, don’t know why
But you’ve got that something, baby, wow wow wow… and maybe
You’re gonna say: “Honey, okay”, day after day
Oh baby, please be mine tonight, wow wow wow… and maybe
You’re gonna say: “Honey, okay”, day after day
“Honey, okay”, day after day, day after day

Yes, de her er begge så absolutt fortsatt aktive
THESE BABES ARE STILL GOING STRONG NOW IN 2019
And I don't know how many times Elisabeth have been representing even us Norwegians in Eurovision Song Contest and how many times Kikki represented Sweden!
And yes, even if Elisabeth grew up in south west Sweden, her family is from Stryn in western Norway. And she married a Norwegian and lives in Norway. And occasionally she turns over to speaking that Norwegian STRYN dialect / accent as if she lived there all her life...
She makes me proud!
And that CHIPS cooperation with Kikki Danielson - DYNAMITE

FANTASTIC
And yes, I hear the references between this song and the Norwegian 1985 song "La Det Swinge" (Let it Swing) by mr Rolf Løvland where Elisabeth Andreasson together with the Norwegian artist Hanne Krogh as the duo "Bobbysocks" won the whole thing (first Eurovision Song Contest victory for us Norwegians).
Mayve the composer Mr Rolf Løvland was inspired by this great song and performance?

Gammal klassiker! Kan säga också att den här sången har jag själv sjungit ut också på en teater som jag är med i! Det var jag och en person till i teatern som sjöng den här! Riktigt roligt!

I reckon this was the best entry that year. We were robbed.
