ABBA - When All Is Said And Done Lyrics






Here's to us. One more toast, and then we'll pay the bill
Deep inside, both of us can feel the autumn chill
Birds of passage, you and me
We fly instinctively
When the summer's over and the dark clouds hide the sun
Neither You nor I'm to blame when all is said and done

In our lives, we have walked some strange and lonely treks
Slightly worn, but dignified, and not too old for sex
We're still striving for the sky
No taste for humble pie
Thanks for all your generous love and thanks for all the fun
Neither you nor I'm to blame when all is said and done

It's so strange, when you're down, and lying on the floor
How you rise, shake your head, get up and ask for more
Clear-headed and open-eyed, with nothing left untried
Standing calmly at the crossroads, no desire to run
There's no hurry anymore when all is said and done
Standing calmly at the crossroads, no desire to run
There's no hurry anymore when all is said and done

ABBA When All Is Said And Done Comments
  1. M.... G....

    💓😃😊ABBA😃💓💕

  2. J.... F....

    Abba's most beautiful songs are their least popular ones.

  3. D.... O....

    Smokes, the look they could give you ....

  4. R.... R....

    Well the best things ever came out of sweden,Abba,Scania trucks,Volvo trucks and cars and SAAB cars,this so brings tears to my eyes and make me remember the best moments in the 90's,thank you Abba

  5. p.... ....

    I love the music, the lyrics, the quality and the integrity in this. I really miss those times, when popular music could be art instead of the commercial, ego tripping rubbish it has become nowadays.

  6. P.... D....

    I love all songs from ABBA but somehow this is my favourite.

  7. J.... ....

    Turkey day song😀

  8. D.... r....

    Agnetter looking hot

  9. L.... Z....

    can we just take a moment to admire how beautiful Anni-Frid is??

  10. D.... S....

    This is probably their best song.

  11. a.... s....

    peace and love to you all abba

  12. d.... n....

    When all is said and done. It's almost the eve of 2020 and Abba still have my heart.

    I am 38, I've loved Abba since my teens. I can sing, laugh, cry and dance with Abba and will continue to do so, Till all is said and done.

  13. B.... E....

    Beautiful, naturally sexy, without appeals...

  14. t.... ....

    This was the first album(The Visitors) to ever be pressed on CD format.

  15. I.... G....

    Benny and Bjorn don't get enough credit as the people who wrote the songs that Frida and Anya sang. Amazing lyrics and music

  16. G.... S....

    What a beautiful song ... Abba Amazing

  17. S.... S....

    Deep inside, both of us, can feel the autumn chill.

  18. A.... C....

    Just one more ABBA album would be priceless, just one.

  19. i.... k....

    Here's to us one more toast and then we'll pay the bill
    Deep inside both of us can feel the autumn chill
    Birds of passage, you and me
    We fly instinctively
    When the summer's over and the dark clouds hide the sun
    Neither you nor I'm to blame when all is said and done
    In our lives we have walked some strange and lonely treks
    Slightly worn but dignified and not too old for sex
    We're still striving for the sky
    No taste for humble pie
    Thanks for all your generous love and thanks for all the fun
    Neither you nor I'm to blame when all is said and done
    It's so strange when you're down and lying on the floor
    How you rise, shake your head, get up and ask for more
    Clear-headed and open-eyed
    With nothing left untried
    Standing calmly at the crossroads, no desire to run
    There's no hurry any more when all is said and done
    Standing calmly at the crossroads, no desire to run
    There's no hurry any more when all is said and done

    A. B B A *** ABSOLUT GREAT....LEGENDS FOR ALL , ALL TIME **** BUILD THEIR LEGACY....

  22. S.... N....

    I always thought the girls looked quite breathtaking in this video of one of the saddest songs.

  23. P.... L....

    Es war , vielleicht , schon zum Abschied...?
    Ich habe das Lied noch nie gehört..
    🌹♥🌹

  24. R.... B....

    Happy Birthday, Frida!! November 15, 2019.

  26. L.... ....

    When I hear the introduction to this song I imagine them live in concert and when they hear Benny’s piano intro and the choir intro everyone in the building standing to there feet and clapping to the beat!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

  27. L.... ....

    Who else loves to watch this after The Winner Takes It All? #divorcesongs “🎶nether you or I’m too blame , when all
    Is said and done 🎵” 💔❤️

  28. r.... ....

    Frida in the island looks so relieved. Abba took so much of her. She sacrificed raising her kids to be with Benny

  29. A.... e....

    💚💛💙💙💜

  30. G.... S....

    What another beautiful song from Abba the best band in the world so grown up the beautiful Friday

  31. M.... G....

    Great Abba song 💕

  32. S.... 3....

    Agnatha & Bjorn 💔: The winner takes it all
    Benny & Frida 💔: When all is said and done

  33. I.... ....

    Omg Frida s voice is so beautiful!!!

  34. C.... K....

    Yes they are the Best even in 2019😀😉😊👍

  35. N.... T....

    I absolutley adore this song, always bring me out in goose bumps, And Anni-Frid I fancied the pants off her.

  36. D.... S....

    They were brilliant songwriters -- almost up there with Lennon/McCartney, Brian Wilson, and a few others. Incredibly melodic, inventive, and the production of their records was singular. And then there's the gals' singing on top of that.

    D.... S....

    I interpret the "thanks for all the generous love and thanks for all the fun" as both to Benny as to us the public.

    D.... S....

    resireg I agree!

    D.... S....

    David Schecter well said!

    D.... S....

    @Lovejazz01 it is almost like she is announcing the end of the band

    D.... S....

    Lennon actually thought that ABBA and Waterloo was the best song ever written !

  37. D.... ....

    Here's to us one more toast and then we'll pay the bill
    Deep inside both of us can feel the autumn chill
    Birds of passage, you and me
    We fly instinctively
    When the summer's over and the dark clouds hide the sun
    Neither you nor I'm to blame when all is said and done
    In our lives we have walked some strange and lonely treks
    Slightly worn but dignified and not too old for sex
    We're still striving for the sky
    No taste for humble pie
    Thanks for all your generous love and thanks for all the fun
    Neither you nor I'm to blame when all is said and done
    It's so strange when you're down and lying on the floor
    How you rise, shake your head, get up and ask for more
    Clear-headed and open-eyed
    With nothing left untried
    Standing calmly at the crossroads, no desire to run
    There's no hurry any more when all is said and done
    Standing calmly at the crossroads, no desire to run
    There's no hurry any more when all is said and done

  38. R.... B....

    Absolutely love this song. The lyrics are so poignant and beautiful.

  39. J.... B....

    When I listen to Abbas music during that era they were dealing with alot of the serious events at that time I hope it helped all of them work through it. I know it was so difficult for all 4 of them and the rest of the band.... Living that kind of life for the entire group had to be so hard on every part of thier lives..mentally, physically, emotionally, how can you have a family life with small children while being on tour all the time? I really feel for them...and my heart aches for the sad times they all faced. Just like my fellow brothers and sisters who serve all around the globe in our precious military I share a bond with them even though I have not met them. I am hoping we as people can share the cup of life and keep a hope in our hearts that we can have love and respect and become better for ourselves....our familys....friends....neighbors...our world....let's celebrate peace, happiness, contentment, great health, affection, acceptance, and most of all Love....we can never have enough....let's enjoy the good that is ours....

  40. P.... ....

    the only 2 women I would turn straight for

  41. A.... L....

    Best Song ABBA ever!

  42. G.... H....

    Such fond memories. Those says the melody can stand on its own.

    Nowadays the song without the instruments just falls flat.

  43. Z.... C....

    I wish I was younger, I want to relive my old house again

  44. j.... v....

    Frank Sinatra, My way
    ABBA, When all is said and done

  45. S.... S....

    ABBA you are the best! Love you! Love you! Love you!

  46. P.... D....

    BEST ABBA SONG!!!
    Love them!

    P.... D....

    Pan Dos I agree

  47. M.... G....

    Sometimes all these wonderful songs are so difficult to listen to they remind me so much of my beautiful mum who was cruelly snatched away by cancer aged 57 just over 2 years ago she loved abba and i do too ❤️❤️

    M.... G....

    Actually that song is about divorcer/ break up, not a song about someone passing away.

    M.... G....

    @resireg im well aware of this but what i was on about was it being a memory for me. As a child i did not understand as such the meaning of the words which i do now but when we grow up listening to certain songs they hold those memories that's what im getting at. 😊

    M.... G....

    When all is said and done - Memories are all your left with - Hold onto them - Remember the person they are about fondly - As they would wish to be remembered.

  48. G.... L....

    ABBA's swan song.

  49. C.... B....

    I was born long after ABBA disbanded and listened to their music even later, but there is not an ounce of doubt in me for liking their music.

  57. L.... F....

    Love ABBA, love Frida. Love Agnetha. Frida has this one!

  58. e.... ....

    I normally don't like pop music, but ABBA is far better than that label.

    e.... ....

    Benny's background is actually rock n roll

  59. M.... C....

    so good

  60. S.... M....

    Timeless!

    Abba, when all is said and done, nothing will have changed.

  63. J.... S....

    how can 1.1k not like this fab song?

  64. W.... G....

    One reason this song was not nearly as big of a hit as it should have been in the US (where in early 1982 it barely cracked the Top 40) was the fact that by the time this song came out at the end of 1981-beginning of '82, New York Radio was undergoing a major transformation with longtime kingpin WABC (77 AM) softening it's format considerably in a last ditch effort to remain a music station (it would become a talk station on May 10, 1982, long considered "The Day The Music Died" at WABC) while WNBC (66 AM) had a program director that Howard Stern referred to as "Kenny" in his 1995 autobiographical film "Private Parts" and up to that PD's death as "Pig Virus" because he hated him that much. That left New York with no true Top 40 station at the time this case out, something that would continue to be the case for another year and a half (at that time, WYNY-FM at 97.1 was the closest to a Top 40 station and that station was really adult contemporary). That doomed this and a lot of other songs of 1981-'83 that should have been much bigger hits because of when they happened to come out.

  65. D.... K....

    I wish ABBA were still ruling the air waves.

  66. K.... J....

    ABBA: What should we do?


    Director: Just keep looking back at the camera

  67. W.... O....

    Makeup, you are full of it. Frida was FAR more accomplished than Agnetha prior to ABBA. Both Benny and Bjorn begged Frida to join the group. Five years Agnetha's senior, she started singing in dance bands at 13, had her own group, made successful recordings and music videos, did some acting and modeling, won a talent contest which led to a television and major recording contract and was a popular guest on many other tv shows. She studied voice with an opera singer and dance with a professional. If you think she was indispensable to ABBA, you are seriously misguided. Many have commented that she was at least as beautiful and talented as Agnetha. She is also the one who became a princess. You can fabricate all the stories you want, but they are just fantasies--yours.

    Will there be another BAND like ABBA? I dont think there ever will be.

  74. E.... E....

    BEnny & Bjorn are the modern day Mozart and Beethoven. Frida & Agnetha are the vehicles that brought home the guys' killer songs to us...and with tremendous impact!

    I find this song even more poignant than The Winner Takes It All.
    What a majestic song, especially Frida’s performance.

    Anyone else stuck in the loop from 2:11 to end? The vocals are soooo strong, the way she says 'nothing,' wih that beat slowly coming to life. Man!

    d.... ....

    And the crescending violins...

  82. d.... ....

    A classy combination of heart touching lyrics, awesome vocals, and un-paralleled composition. The fast tempo in this song adds yet another dimension. Simply brilliant.

  83. S.... B....

    The music, the message, the vocals -- the Brilliance, the Talent -- nothing since has ever matched it. Hits ALL the bases. Forever and Ever!!

  84. S.... R....

    But for what its worth I would not expect anything less ..from the Greatest music group that has ever walked on this Beautiful Planet Earth XX.

  85. S.... R....

    WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE THIS SONG IS TRULY AWWEESSOOMMME.

  86. S.... ....

    I love Frida's voice..

  87. J.... K....

    by far the best abba song...

  88. S.... P....

    When "All is Said and Done"..... life is TOO short to worry about the petty things that mean nothing at all in the end.

  89. A.... b....

    Bellissima

  90. B.... C....

    Love Abba....

  91. I.... V....

    Best band ever

  92. g.... w....

    My final song !

  93. R.... A....

    Cantam muiiiito abba 👏👏👏👏👏

  94. t.... ....

    As much as I love ABBA, this is my personal favorite.

  95. M.... J....

    Can't wait for the Cher version 💜

    M.... J....

    She will ruin a great song.

    M.... J....

    @Andrey Shunkov I don't think so but if you don't like Cher just don't listen

    M.... J....

    @Moy Jiménezwell, you may not think so, but she will ruin it. She can't sing ABBA songs, she's just not good enough for them

  96. T.... T....

    Meryl Streep / Pierce Brosnan Vibes💖 #MammaMia

  97. a.... f....

    "Clear-headed and opened-eye with nothing ledft untried"... Maybe Björn found the best string of words to depict Frida´s personality
