ABBA lyrics - When All Is Said And Done

Here's to us

one more toast

and then we'll pay the bill

deep inside

both of us

can feel the autumn chill

birds of passage

you and me

we fly instinctively

when the summer's over

and the dark clouds hide the sun

neither you nor I'm to blame

when all is said and done



In our lives

we have walked

some strange and lonely treks

slightly worn

but dignified

and not too old for sex

we're still striving for the sky

no taste for humble pie

thanks for all your generous love

and thanks for all the fun

neither you nor I'm to blame

when all is said and done



It's so strange

when you're down

and lying on the floor

how you rise

shake your head

get up and ask for more

clear-headed and open-eyed

with nothing left untried

standing calmly at the crossroads

no desire to run

there's no hurry any more

when all is said and done
