If It Wasn't for the Night - ABBA

I got appointments, work I have to do

Keeping me so busy all the day through

They're the things that keep me from thinking of you

(ohhh) 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 it's 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

Sitting here alone and staring 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 doing 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

(ohhh) 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 it's 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

Sitting here alone and staring 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
