If It Wasn't For the Nights (Live At Wembley Arena, London/1979) - ABBA

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
