I watch my love, she's sleeping, the air around her deepened
Tomorrow she will smile again, tomorrow she'll get wild again

My love and the moon, take your time, make it soon

I didn't mean to hurt you, it's what I use the words to
Every time we lose our way get so many things to say

My love and the moon, take your time, make it soon

I see you and I hear you call but sometimes when I lost it all
I go out of my mind to see what I can find, I can find

I watch my love, she's sleeping, the air around her deepened
Tomorrow she will smile again, tomorrow she'll get wild again, my love

A-ha is a Norweigian synth pop group formed in 1982. All ten of their studio albums have either reached #1 or #2 in Norway – the first three also reaching the top 10 in several countries across Europe – with a total of over 35 million sold worldwide. They became a ‘teen pin-up band’ and were followed by screaming, enthusiastic fans. In 2012, all three members were appointed to knighthood in Norway for their contributions to music.

Frontman Morten Harket was lured away from the blues/soul group Soldier Blue in 1982 by keyboardist Magne Furuholmen to join his band with guitarist Paul Waaktaar. When Harket saw a song in Waaktaar’s notebook that was going to be titled either “a-ha” or “A-hem”, he suggested naming the band “a-ha”.

A year later, the band released their debut single “Take On Me” in 1984 to huge success in Norway. However, when the song was re-recorded and re-released alongside their debut album Hunting High And Low in the summer of 1985 it achieved massive international success, reaching #1 in eleven countries. Its success was definitely aided by its groundbreaking, award-winning music video of pencil-sketch animation combined with live-action shots.
