[Verse 1]
Hold me tight, this is a lonely night
And I've hurt you, baby, 'cause you're my light
Make me strong just like you make me weak
And your hands reach out for me even in your sleep

[Chorus]
I'll soon be gone now
Forever not yours
It won't be long now
Forever not yours

[Verse 2]
Memories, they keep coming through
The good ones hurt more than the bad ones do
The days were hot and the nights were deep
And I miss you, baby, I miss you, baby

[Chorus]
I'll soon be gone now
Forever not yours
It won't be long now
Forever not yours

I'll soon be gone now
Forever not yours
It won't be long now
Forever not, forever not yours
Forever not yours

It won't be long now
Forever not yours
I'll soon be gone now
Forever not, forever not yours

(spoken)
Oh, you embarrassed me. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you so much

​a-ha

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.
