The song
This year’s Swedish entry is about a nostalgic theme. The singer recalls all the moments he had with his lover as he owes everything to her.
Hey, do you remember
How we would stay up all night
Talking 'bout our destiny
And I played the piano
And you would strum on your guitar
Those were the days
If only you could see me now
I live my dream
I owe it all to you
I owe it to you
Isn't it crazy
Isn't it crazy
It's all because of you
All because of you
It's all because of you
All because of you
I know that if the sky would fall
I'd survive it all because of you
You

How we would stay up all night
Talking about our destiny
And I played the piano
And you would strum on your guitar
Those were the days
I live my dream, I owe it all to you
I owe it to you
Isn’t it crazy, yeah isn’t it crazy
It’s all because of you
All because of you
It’s all because of you, oh
All because of you, oh
I know that if the sky would fall I’d survive it all
Because of you, oh
I reach for the horizon
Whenever I’ve got days of doubt
Bringing me down
So even if disaster strikes
I close my eyes and then I’m next to you
I´m right there with you, hey
Yeah isn’t it crazy, isn’t it crazy
It´s all because of you
All because of you
It’s all because of you, oh
All because of you, oh
I know that if the sky would fall I’d survive it all
Because of you, oh
It’s all ’cause of you
Because of you (Hey-ey, hey-ey)
Because of you (Hey-ey)
It’s all ’cause of you
I know that if the sky would fall I’d survive it all
Because of you, oh
It’s all because of you, oh
All because of you, oh
I know that if the sky would fall I’d survive it all
Becuase of you, oh
(Hey-ey, hey-ey, hey-ey)

3 years later still got goosebumps.
He would've gotten a better score if Sweden didn't won the year before
@Julia-ti9qs
+Jessie Yin absolutely agree!))
@SelvesteSand
+Jessie Yin Only Teardrops was the right winner, I think, but You would probably still make it to my top 10 Eurovision songs ever (along with Undo and possibly Fångad av en Stormvind). Those Swedes know how to make songs.
@jessieyin6254
We are after all top 3 in the music industri
