About The Song
ABBA, the Swedish pop quartet that has left an indelible mark on the music industry, has gifted us with countless timeless classics. Among their vast repertoire, “My Love, My Life” stands out as a particularly poignant and heartfelt ballad. This song, with its soaring melodies and deeply personal lyrics, is a testament to ABBA’s ability to connect with listeners on an emotional level.
Originally released in 1976 as part of their album “Arrival”, “My Love, My Life” quickly became a fan favorite. The song’s title alone evokes feelings of love and devotion, and the lyrics do not disappoint. Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad deliver a powerful and emotive performance, their voices blending seamlessly to create a truly unforgettable listening experience.
The music itself is a perfect blend of pop and classical elements. The gentle piano chords and lush orchestral arrangements provide a beautiful backdrop for the vocals, while the driving rhythm adds a sense of urgency and passion. The song’s structure is simple yet effective, allowing the lyrics to take center stage.
What sets “My Love, My Life” apart from other love songs is its depth and complexity. While the lyrics express a deep sense of love and commitment, they also hint at underlying fears and insecurities. This emotional vulnerability makes the song all the more relatable and endearing.

Lyric
I’ve seen it on your face
Tells me more than any worn-out old phrase
So now we’ll go separate ways
Never again we two
Never again, nothing I can doLike an image passing by
My love, my life
In the mirror of your eyes
My love, my life
I can see it all so clearly (See it all so clearly)
Answer me sincerely (Answer me sincerely)
Was it a dream, a lie?
Like reflections of your mind
My love, my life
Are the words you try to find
My love, my life
But I know I don’t possess you
So go away, God bless you
You are still my love and my life
Still my one and onlyI’ve watched you look away
Tell me, is it really so hard to say?
Oh, this has been my longest day
Sitting here close to you
Knowing that maybe tonight we’re throughLike an image passing by
My love, my life
In the mirror of your eyes
My love, my life
I can see it all so clearly (See it all so clearly)
Answer me sincerely (Answer me sincerely)
Was it a dream, a lie?
Like reflections of your mind
My love, my life
Are the words you try to find
My love, my life
But I know I don’t possess you
So go away, God bless you
You are still my love and my life
Yes I know I don’t possess you
So go away, God bless you
You are still my love and my life
Still my one and only
