Music: Benny Andersson
Lyrics: Björn Ulvaeus
It must have been him
Just a glimpse of a face in the crowd
That’s all it takes
My heart is racing
I stand in a trance
As I stare at the back of a bus
Knowing there’s no use denying
I can’t stop thinking ’bout us
The Story of a Heart
A story all of it mine
And you took it from me every glorious line
I was safe and warm and now I’m out in the cold
And I know I shouldn’t have told
My story
Story of a Heart
I laid myself open wide
Let you read the pages
where the ink hadn’t dried
All emotion pent-up inside
My story
I try to resist
But the images keep coming through
So many years, still I’m defenseless
The house by the lake
His hands resting a while on the oars
Speaking with quiet conviction
Carefully unlocking doors
The Story of a Heart
A story all of it mine
And you took it from me every glorious line
I was safe and warm and now I’m out in the cold
And I know I shouldn’t have told
My story
Story of a Heart
I laid myself open wide
Let you read the pages
where the ink hadn’t dried
All emotion pent-up inside
My story
Did he see me?
Or did I just imagine it all
Putting a face on a stranger
A face I find more and more hard to recall
Never giving up
I looked for you everywhere
Time went by and sadness took the place of despair
In a way you’ll stand with me ”till death do us part”
Like a shadow deep in my heart, forever
The Story of a Heart
A story all of it mine
And you took it from me every glorious line
I was safe and warm and now I’m out in the cold
And I know I shouldn’t have told
My story
Story of a Heart
I laid myself open wide
Let you read the pages
where the ink hadn’t dried
Swept away and lost in love what was I to do
I just had to give it to you
My story
