ABBA If It Wasn't For The Nights Lyrics

[Benny Andersson/Björn Ulvaeus]

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
