A book there on the shelf
And inside it, a rose that you left
You still get her flowers once in a while
Sent from the other side
A song you used to play
And the melody takes her away
Into a memory, she disappears
Dancing like you were there
Sweden gets too cold when the summer goes away
Birds know where to go, she's left here to stay
Said you'll always be together, now she waits
For another dance together with you
Too lonely in the dark
That's when she used to be in your arms
Now she's staying up 'til the moon goes to rest
That's when she's goes to bed
The photos in the hall
Parts of a life on a wall
Daily reminders so age won't forget
A life before you left
Sweden gets too cold when the summer goes away
Birds know where to go, she's left here to stay
Said you'll always be together, now she waits
For another dance together with you
If it's true what they're saying
There's a stairway to heaven
Then why do you stay there?
If you ever find a window
And a way to come back home
Then why do you stay there?
Sweden gets too cold when summer goes away
Birds know where to go, she's left here to stay
I know you'll be together, but now until that day
If you find a way, then please don't wait
Same old sign, same old place
She's sitting there just waiting
Oh
For another dance together with you
