[00:00.00] 作曲 : Björn Ulvaeus & Benny Andersson [00:01.92]The Day Before You Came [00:10.03]I must have left my house at eight because I always do [00:13.84] [00:17.53]My train I'm certain left the station just when it was due [00:21.58] [00:25.32]I must have read the morning paper going into town [00:29.07] [00:33.26]And having gotten through the editoria no doubt I must have frowned [00:38.96] [00:42.00]I must have made my desk [00:43.64] [00:44.76]Around a quarter after nine [00:47.13] [00:50.88]With letters to be read [00:52.62] [00:53.19]And heaps of papers waiting to be signed [00:56.56] [00:59.92]I must have gone to lunch [01:02.11]At half past twelve or so the usual place, the usual bunch [01:06.29] [01:08.72]And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained [01:12.85] [01:15.41]The day before you came [01:17.46] [01:21.01]I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two [01:25.14] [01:28.89]And at the time I never even noticed I was blue [01:33.00] [01:36.68]I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day [01:41.31] [01:44.68]Without really knowing anything I hid a part of me away [01:50.16] [01:53.23]At five I must have left [01:55.41] [01:56.11]There's no exception to the rule [01:58.72] [02:01.96]A matter of routine [02:04.40]I've done it ever since I finished school [02:07.95] [02:10.32]The train back home again [02:13.39]Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then [02:17.50] [02:20.12]Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within its usual frame [02:24.05] [02:26.80]The day before you came [02:28.86] [03:03.93]I must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so [03:07.98] [03:11.29]And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go [03:15.85] [03:18.97]I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV [03:23.02] [03:26.89]There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see [03:32.00] [03:35.87]I must have gone to bed [03:38.56]Around a quarter after ten [03:40.99] [03:44.73]I need a lot of sleep [03:46.99]And so I like to be in bed by then [03:50.29] [03:52.85]I must have read a while [03:55.84]The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style [04:00.43] [04:02.62]It's funny but I had no sense of living without aim [04:06.49] [04:09.24]The day before you came [04:11.29] [04:14.85]And turning out the light [04:16.91]I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night [04:20.65] [04:23.72]And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain [04:28.01] [04:30.45]The day before you came
