These have to be Bjorns best lyrics. Benny and Sigs arrangement is pure genius. Anni-Firidas haunting vocals only make this one of the best ABBA tunes ever!.
There is no doubt to me that ABBA was sent from somewher in the afterlife to grace this world with their angelic music. No doubt about that, at all. Does anyone disagree.
Agnetha is just one beautiful voice. Name one person ever who could pull this on off!

I love everything about this song sung by the most beautiful ice maiden who ever lived. At the time this song was released, ABBA were very unpopular (considered naff by contemporary standards). In fact this song proves that as they were preparing to go their separate ways, they were releasing their most haunting and brilliant work (a candle always glows more brightly just before it is about to go out)
I'm now 54, & yet I still cry every time that I listen to this most hauntingly beautiful song - a fitting tribute to the peerless Abba, & the pure vocal talent that is Agnetha Faltskog - absolutely sublime.
i get goosebumps when i hear the synth bits on the chorus...what an amazing song...some of their best stuff was between 1980 and 1983
Artists etc today can learn a lot from this performance, just look at the facial expressions, the way she conducts herself etc and her voice - you can feel and her the hurt and despair, yet Agnetha never faulters and although appears vulnerable is so strong at the same time. No one else on earth could do a perfermance like that it makes you realise what a great group they were.
This is the pinnacle of human evolution, as a race we will never quite be as beautiful or as talented as this ever again..
Thank you ABBADiego
ABBA is the favorite group of my youth. Beautiful, very melodical, talented and one of the most popular groups in the world. Unfortunately American people do not know well European music, but ABBA is an exception.
Sad, hauntingly beautiful song... And I had forgotten just how stunning Agneta is...
In my humble opinion, THE greatest doom-y Euro-electro-pop song EVER. By anyone. It can stand proudly right next to New Order's "Perfect Kiss", I feel.
Best version with best vocals, 'jon Anderson' like
There is nothing to change . perfection no matter what anyone says
sometimes you feel that the best abba song is the one you're hearing in the moment...but only the winner takes it all can compete with this one. as it comes to the performing life, nothing tops this incredibly emotional performance by agnetha.
Look at here, so cute and innocent-looking in her red burgundy medieval-inspired dress.
This combination of advanced pop harmonies, melancolic melodies, masterful production/sound engineering, and sweet, innocent singing will never be seen again.
This is the best song is pop music (No2 after The winner takes all performed by ABBA too). Agnetha , you are wonderfull. Absolutely the best singer on the world for all the time. I love you my dear Agnetha.
This song is so haunting and sung so beautifully by Agnetha it is truly Abba at their best
I heard this song again on radio 2 today and boy, how wonderful it is. Brings back the memories of my youth. I had an almighty crush on Agnetha. I still love her!
Abba, Beatles and the Bee Gees - can't beat them.
ABBA's ability (imaginative talent) to make music seems endless. Never ceases to amaze with beautiful lyrics and pulsating beats! The music today cannot compare!!!
You're absolutely right. From 4.32 to the end is not only the best part of the song but also the best and most ambitious moment in their career. You can feel the voice of an angel in heaven listening to the last part of song. Masterpiece.
The excellent song and wonderful voice that came as gift from the God to the human race
Great video of one of the band's greatest songs, timeless, beautiful song and beautiful voice from Agnetha.
Their last and without doubt their very best. Just stunning.
There has never been a group any better than ABBA... They were the sound of an ERA
and this particular song is one of best ever written... How some group so wealthy and famous could identify with the working class is surreal. Oh god, were they wonderful !!!
Frida's haunting background cry gives me goosebumps and makes the hair on my arms stand up :D
what sound, what beauty as a fan of many jenres - most of which are very different to this i have to say they were fabulous soooo sooooo talented and soooooooooooooooo very beautiful too. All my love especially to Agnetha
one of there very best songs i think. a song with a story,and sung with real feeling by Agnetha!
This is the pinnacle of human evolution, as a race we will never quite be as beautiful or as talented as this ever again..
Люблю АВВА и прекрасную Agnethe forever! Love from Russia!!!
This is one of the best songs I ever heard. And Agnetha is a woman of amazing charm 4ever.
I just love this song, and the more you listen to it the more u love it...is sad thoug is one of their last songs as a group
:(. Agnetha just sings it perfect, she puts her soul into each song!
God she is beautiful.
+andydidyouhear Oh yessssssssss !
Yes she is still is angel voice
True art is like the cruel grandmother who beats her grand-daughter--every tear of which becomes a pearl! How heart-wrenching to realize that this beautiful love song was the swan song for ABBA! Even in the beauty of the poignant feelings and in the carefully crafted sniplets in the video--there is the piercing realization that breakup (and divorce?) were occurring within ABBA even as this song was created! When day dies it produces a glorious sunset just as boredom of life precedes intense joy!
@ABBADiego...music was born and lives on for eternity because ABBA perfected it. they may have been silent but thier melodies are every where in the air. listen to the wind, the birds,the crashing waves, the gentle rush of a stream, the sway of trees in the spring and the sound of rain on the roop tops in the cold winter nights. you are listening to ABBA because ABBA is in the air. thanks for sharing your passion.
There can't have been many teenage boys at the time that didn't have a crush on this beautiful woman. I did.
+hugehelmet Not just teenagers!
Indeed
...you didn't - and don't - have to be a teenager...
This is my favourite ABBA song. It is one of their most mature and complete music pieces. And the acting of Agnetha in the video clip is spot on.
I LOVE the (cute) sad expressions on A's face. She always seemed so genuine, a gem in the music industry, and perhaps in person, too.
Srecan sam i ponosan sto sam najlepse mladalacke dane proziveo uz ovu grupu.Ovaj glas opija,a o Agnetinoj lepoti da ne pricam.Zahvalan sam BOGU sto sam se rodio kada su Agneta i Frida harale svetom svojim predivnim glasovima.Neka ih BOG cuva. Vojvodina.
Timeless song...
I'm sure a lot of us still have no sense of living without aim...
Maybe one day...
Heartfelt thanks for the upload!
I first heard this song on the compilation album "Abba the singles: the first 10 years". Those words still haunt me, because I remember being 13 years old and still excited that another 10 years of music would be given to us. Alas it never was
Best voice, best song!
I am a writer and I use this glorious music to get my creative juices flowing, my next novel is Retribution of the Apocalypse. That you to four Gods of music.Ditto for what the fellows above said.
The only intelligent song by ABBA and the truest song of 1980s THATCHERITE ENGLAND. The first time I had a complete nervous breakdown and understood the meaning of alienation and true loneliness. And it is fantastic. And It is still so true of the life of today's office worker in England.
Beautiful song sung by a "BEAUTIFUL WOMAN"!!! Can't ask for better!
This is an AMAZING AMAZING song.
Swedes speak excellent English, but even so, this is a remarkable song on so many levels, and always makes me cry around 3:40 : )
What a pity their best work came at the end.

Beautiful song beautiful woman and one of the greatest band of all time
I played the vcr tape so many times it broke and I fixed it with tape. I was 14 years old and still today this song gives me the chills. What I would do today to see them live.

Fabulous performance! Love this song, at first listen sounds pretty simple but when you listen to the lyrics properly you realise what a stunningly intelligent pop song it is.
This song was so underrated in the UK when it came out - it is one of their best.
I discovered this song a few months ago on youtube and return to it frequently.I wonder how I could have missed it first time round when I was at school in the
80`s?I love the sad,elegant and understated lyrics, and the classical undertones
of the backing vocals which seem to imply that the song is a requiem for the group.
Abba , will remain a source of pride for the song the world forever .
FINALLY!!!! This song is here!!! My favourite Nr.1 Perfect harmony of romance and rock music!!!
Easily the most hauntingly beautiful ABBA song of all time. Love from Minneapolis, USA.
ABBA's GREATEST SONG. Just listen to those amazing analogue synths. AMAZING SOUND !!!
ABBA - The Legend from the days when music was THE REAL MUSIC!
A big ABBA fan in the 70's and 80's this video is absolutely stunning!!!
the greatest recording group of all time.-Love you Agnetha,Bjorn, Benny,Anni-Frid!!
THE DAY BEFORE YOU CAME is a classic song from an amazing group. The songs of abba will last forever.
Excelente música. Foi uma despedida melancólica no 2º semestre de 1982. Grande ano, grande década.
God,she was gorgeous and a voice that sends shivers down my spine.Still love Abba to this very day.A++++++++
Beautiful voice and absolutely sublime performance , excellent , perfect . ABBA music forever . Thanks you for posting this .
Yes, written by Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus, the two guys from ABBA. ABBA recorded and sang only their own songs throughout their whole career with 1 exception and that was for charity in 1975. This was the last ever recorded song by ABBA in 1982 and was included on the ABBA album in 1982 "ABBA-The Singles-The First Ten Years". however this song is available on the various compilations brought out by Universal Music over the years since 1992 when they took on the ABBA catalogue in full.
An Angel is singing here! The voice is just great!
everytime i hear that song, i must cry..it's just too beautiful
A lovely song sung by a beautiful lady who is still very beautiful today.Would love to meet this lady.
i say what a stunning song ......sheer class...
Best band ever without a doubt their songs bring me a lot of memories
The best song of 1982 bar none The Day Before You Came Agnetha Faltskog what a voice and what a babe.
along with the visitors......i always have this tune on repeat its the synths i think that do it for me its magical!
This is ABBAs masterpiece!
Wonderful. I listen to it for so many years and I cannot stop. Wonderful video.
If I was paranoid, I'd think I was musically cursed. Abba brings this song out and I label it as their best ever. Then they split up, bloody brilliant! In the early Eighties I put Pink Floyd's The Final Cut as my favorite Floyd album, then they split up!!!
I must be playing this every day just cannot hear it enough just love it.
A very special song sung by a very special group. It is also special to me.Great work.
As sad as it sounds a group like this will never happen again. I'm just glad i was around back then to see i all. great times...
abba always did songs to what was going on in real life in their lives
one of us is lying
the winner takes it all
this one
and lay all your love on me
are prime examples
Pure genius, the song is out of this world.
the sound is excellent. well done.
My life was like this music before hear you singing. Thank you Agnetha. I love you :)
Beautiful song! Wow...she sure look Nice....and...beautiful. I've never heard this song before, and if I didn't see this video, I probably won't recognize that this was one of their songs. I really love it. Thanks for posting.
The kind of intricate lyrics in a song you rarely find in todays popular music? Yes, I would thinks so........
Greetings from Göteborg,Sweden
Its very invisible to wait ABBA fun from USA . As a big cuntry , you never have been so marvellous women pop singer as Agnetha!!!!!!!!!! Europe is the best!!!!!!!!!!
Where was i the day before ABBA came to me with all those wonderful music en performances.
Genius lyrics, beautifull arangement, beautifully sung..ABBA's best? I think so.
the most talented song in abba.
ABBADiego thanks for this sharing, we had not yet seen a performance delivered as live of this their most clever story told in an immaculate delivery. Sad the song didn't get the status in history of a world number one
Best Abba song and great sound well done :)
Dear me... this is really heartbreaking. Probably the best song of them, emotional than all the other songs. I guess they already knew that ABBA is taking the final sprint.
Oh Agnetha baby, supa-yummy mummy or what? Only 33 there! I always thought she looked her best in the final ABBA year of 1982. I love the way she smiles at the guy on the platform! The most womanly, sexy smile every captured on film! This song is a timeless classic from '82 which was a year I loved! Both ABBA and '82 slipped away together and I landed on boring old '83! It can be mixed nicely into Leonard Cohen's 'Everybody Knows' which I always thought sounded similar in rhythm.
Definitely the best ABBA song in my humble opinion. May be she was sad, it was nearly the end of their group when this was recorded.
the best song and live performance EVER.
the most beautfull womam in earth
Agnetha la donna più bella e dolce cha abbia mai visto, stupenda!
Прекрасно поет и не надо быть голой как сейчас певицы
What a beautiful sad song..
probably the best song ABBA ever produced - brilliant!
When the singing was pure, When melody means music,,,
Not much more can be added
one of the last abba songs to be released. i just love the lyrics to it and also a sadness to it. wish they would reform and do a concert in london i would be happy.
ABBA forever :)
wow-just stumbled onto this-first 30 seconds i was hooked to the beat and was rivited to her delivery !
A sublime TV performance right at the end of the band's career. This classic song, the last one they ever recorded, has kept people debating for years about what exactly DID happen when he came. Bjorn and Agnetha have both indicated that it was not a change for the better. And the music and video hint at this. For me, the most compelling clue is in the book she chooses to read at bedtime- 'the latest one by Marilyn French'. At the time this song was written, the latest book by Marilyn French was 'The Bleeding Heart', which was about two people who meet on a train and are instantly attracted to eachother. A relationship develops but turns out to be a very abusive one. Food for thought, eh?
Absolutely beautiful. She is the Queen!!
Best lyrics I've ever heard .. Steven Wilson did a great cover but still , the original song KICKS ASS !
God, those women are gorgeous.
