Mamma Mia...

The last two days I think I have heard at least twice that I ought to watch this movie. And I certainly would want to! Maybe Steve and I can get it as DVD  for Christmas when we meet again... And see it together. 

The last student today, a 7 year old girl, and her dad said this movie is like a caramel! And they too thought I ought to see it. 

I saw this Swedish group ABBA live at Brännaberget in Överkalix in the north of Sweden (approximately 30 km south of the Arctic Circle) summer 1973 before they broke through actually.

This with ABBA is actually also connected with eating! 

When Steve and I were entirely for ourselves the first evening after leaving Severna Park and Maryland and had stopped at a restaurant for supper (I really need meals at certain times! :-)) I suddenly heard music in the loud-speakers I recognized (but now I don't remember what song it actually was):

"But this is ABBA!!!" 

I said to Steve, amazed hearing a Swedish group and Swedish music when I had traveled so far. I don't think Steve was even aware it was a Swedish group, so he was surprised too when I said they were Swedes! 

This was the same evening as Steve told his story about a magical night with lightning bugs and cicadas... I wish he could tell it again... I really saw the picture before my eyes!

Mamma Mia

I've been cheated by you since I don't know when

So I made up my mind, it must come to an end

Look at me now, will I ever learn?

I don't know how but I suddenly lose control

There's a fire within my soul

Just one look and I can hear a bell ring

One more look and I forget everything, w-o-o-o-oh

Mamma mia, here I go again

My my, how can I resist you?

Mamma mia, does it show again?

My my, just how much I've missed you

Yes, I've been brokenhearted

Blue since the day we parted

Why, why did I ever let you go?

Mamma mia, now I really know,

My my, I could never let you go.

I've been angry and sad about things that you do

I can't count all the times that I've told you we're through

And when you go, when you slam the door

I think you know that you won't be away too long

You know that I'm not that strong.

Just one look and I can hear a bell ring

One more look and I forget everything, w-o-o-o-oh

Mamma mia, here I go again

My my, how can I resist you?

Mamma mia, does it show again?

My my, just how much I've missed you

Yes, I've been brokenhearted

Blue since the day we parted

Why, why did I ever let you go?

Mamma mia, even if I say

Bye bye, leave me now or never

mamma mia, it's a game we play

Bye bye doesn't mean forever

Mamma mia, here I go again

My my, how can I resist you?

Mamma mia, does it show again?

My my, just how much I've missed you

Yes, I've been brokenhearted

Blue since the day we parted

Why, why did I ever let you go

Mamma mia, now I really know

My my, I could never let you go
