This song was terribly difficult to sing - long notes and no breathing pauses between the phrases. At that time, I hadn't yet begun to take singing lessons, as I now do twice a week. Another neat thing about this song, which was originally in Italian, is that Björn, Benny and Frida are singing in the background. Already, ABBA had begun to come together...

    A Dream Is A Dream And A Story A Story
    ~ Dröm är dröm och saga saga ~

    A dream is a dream and a story, a story
    Only the weak dream
    Whatever has happened is done and already
    An episode of long ago,
    Many of us have meories
    Of a time that once used to be
    Others perhaps have memories
    Of a friend that once went away.

    A dream is a dream and a story, a story
    Only the weak dream
    But sometimes during the hard times
    A dream can become a miracle,
    For you never miss June
    As you do in January,
    Never long for July
    So much as in dark February.

    A dream is a dream and a story, a story
    Only the weak dream
    Who wouldn't remember spring
    During winter's cold winds?
    We all have strawberry patches
    Where we often escape to
    We all have our memories
    We all have our songs.

    A dream is a dream and a story, a story
    Only the weak dream
    It is said and it is written
    But now such it is in life,
    That the strong who are young
    Can also be called weak
    They want to dream, they want to sing
    Every heart has a story.

    A dream is a dream and a story, a story
    Only the weak dream
    Whatever has happened is done and already
    An episode of long ago,
    A dream is a dream and a story, a story
    Only the weak dream
    We all need to dream
    We all need to forget.
