The words of the english version

Abbacadabra / Time
(Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvæus, Don Black, Mike Batt)

Time, time
The peaceful waters shine underneath the winter's moon
Time, time
Village bells will always chime as the piper plays the tune
Wheels are turning seasons come and go
Like the morning light
Fires are burning soon our world will know
All the love we feel tonight

Time, time
Finally we find as the evening sun descends
Time, time
The future's yours and mine nothing ever really ends
All the love songs since the world for man
Time will never take away
Though it's so long since the world began
We grow strong from day to day

Refrain:
Let the world change
Let it change in time
As the years go on
But the mountains
That we choose to climb
Will be standing when we're gone

[instrumental break]

[Repeat verse 1]

[Refrain]

Time, time
The future's yours and mine
Nothing ever really ends

Abbacadabra / When dreamers close their eyes
(Benny Andersson / Björn Ulvaeus / Don Black / Mike Batt)

Magic carpets in the sky
Pirate ships go sailing by
Distant world where stallions ride on clouds
Drifting though a land of dreams
Oh how warm and safe it seems
Flying dragons from the sea
Not too close to you or me
In this place that's full of magic things
No one cries
It all comes true when dreamers close their eyes

Waterfalls and circus clowns
Kings and Queens and golden crowns
Mountains made of cream and chocolate cake
Handsome heroes bold and brave
Search for princesses to save
Clouded hearts and summer skies
Hum with birds and and butterflies
In this place that's full of magic things
No one cries
It all comes true when dreamers close their eyes

No one cries
It all comes true when dreamers close their eyes

Abbacadabra / I Am The Seeker
(Benny Andersson / Björn Ulvaeus / Don Black / Mike Batt)

If I had to make a list
of all the pretty girls I've kissed
That list wouldn't have one name.
My face is not the kind of face
anyone would like to face
If I were them I'd feel the same

It is no secret information, I'm no work of art
I'll never be a Fairbanks or Roget too.
I shy away from conversation but I have a heart.
I'd give it to you, if only you knew
Til then I'll search in the dark

Refrain:
I am the seeker, the dreamer, the believer, I know I'll find you one day
I'm walking through a forest and it seems without an end
As though I'm losing my way.
I am the seeker, the dreamer, the believer, there's only one thing I know
I've come too far to give up now to go back to the start
For you must be out their waiting I can feel it in my heart
I am the dreamer, the believer, but where are you

If only I could change my looks
Like the beast in story books
Somebody might come my way.
I wish I had a wishing well
To wish someone would cast a spell
Maybe they will one day.

And then my flashing eyes would twinkle and my smile would shine
In a while I'd have style and charisma
I wouldn't have a single wrinkle I'd be so divine
My search would be through, I know I'd find you
In just a matter of time.

[Refrain]

Abbacadabra / Like an image passing by
(Benny Andersson / Björn Ulvaeus / Stig Anderson)

I know it is too late,
Ffrom this moment time and tide will not wait.
Yet I was master of my fate,
Being the ruling queen,
I never wanted a change of scene.

Refrain:
Like an image passing by, I see my life,
In the twinkling of an eye, my lonely life,
And at this, my darkest hour, fading like a flower,
Beauty is bound to die.
From the present to the past, I see my life,
Catching up with me at last, my empty life.
Now the hourglass is turning,
And in my eyes are burning,
Tears I should have cried long ago,
Now I'll cry forever

Now, it's my turn to sleep,
Oh, how true that beauty's only skin deep.
I was wrong, thinking I could keep,
Everything in my hand,
Knowing my castle was built on sand.

[Refrain]

Now I'll cry forever
