Anni Frid Lyngstad The Face Lyrics

The Face Lyrics

You take a final look around

 And then you put your house-key down

 Upon the table by the note

 You take your handbag and your coat

 You don't want too much to carry

 To slow you down on the way

 

 You picture his face

 In the morning

 As he was going to work

 Without saying a word

 You saw the face

 Of a stranger

 It wasn't always like this before

 His face like a stranger

 You didn't know what to say

 So you are going away

 From the face of a stranger

 And not the lover you knew before

 

 Why should you want to call your friends

 Why should you want to start again

 You tried explaining through the years

 But it would always end in tears

 And one thing you know for certain

 You've said goodbye to that place

 

 But still

 You picture his face

 In the morning

 As he was going to work

 Without saying a word

 You saw the face

 Of a stranger

 It wasn't always like this before

 His face like a stranger

 You didn't know what to say

 So you are going away

 From the face of a stranger

 And not the lover you knew before

 

 Somewhere a telephone

 Is ringing in an empty room

 Miles away

 You are looking at a new town

 But you are thinking of the past

 The rain is falling down

 Why do you keep that photograph

 

 Of his face like a stranger

 As he was going to work

 Without saying a word

 You saw the face

 Of a stranger

 And not the lover you knew before

 

 His face

 In the morning

 As he was going to work

 Without saying a word

 You saw the face

 Of a stranger

 It wasn't always like this before

 His face like a stranger

 You didn't know what to say

 So you are going away

 From the face of a stranger

 And not the lover you knew before

 

 His face

 In the morning

 As he was going to work

 Without saying a word

 You saw the face

 Of a stranger

 It wasn't always like this before
