[Verse 1]
Funny how everything changes for me
Memories take me away
Each time I open the door to my room
Where I must stay in all day
I don't want to be here, I'm much too tired
So I close my eyes and, 'snap', I'm with you
We are on vacation, you and me together
Lying in the sunshine

[Chorus]
I travel to Romantis
I travel to Romantis
Where nothing but the blue skies
Will tell me that the time flies
I travel to Romantis
Every time I think of you
You're giving me my life back
I travel to Romantis

[Verse 2]
One day I'll give you myself in a ring
Bounded by law and by heart
(Bounded by law and by heart)
It's you and me against the world
That is the way it should be
(That is the way it should be)
I don't want to be here, I'm much too tired
So I close my eyes and, 'snap', I'm with you
We are on vacation you and me together
Lying in the sunshine

[Chorus]
I travel to Romantis
I travel to Romantis
Where nothing but the blue skies
Will tell me that the time flies
I travel to Romantis
And every time I think of you
You're giving me my life back
I travel to Romantis

[Bridge]
Give me my life back
You are the best
You are the best that has happened to me
You're giving me my life back
I travel to Romantis
You are the best that has happened to me
Please, God, let it be

[Chorus]
I travel to Romantis
I travel to Romantis
Where nothing but the blue skies
Will tell me that the time flies
I travel to Romantis
(I travel to Romantis)
Every time I think of you
You're giving me my life back
I travel to Romantis
I travel to Romantis
I travel to Romantis
Where nothing but the blue skies
Will tell me that the time flies
I travel to Romantis
Every time I think of you
You're giving me my life back
I travel to Romantis

Ace of Base Is a Swedish pop group who scored a string of international hits in the early-to-mid 1990s. They’re best known for their upbeat reggae-tinged dance-pop songs, including “The Sign”, which was the biggest hit of 1994, according to The Billboard US chart.

The group’s core lineup consisted of producers Ulf “Buddha” Ekberg and Jonas “Joker” Berggren, along with singers Malin “Linn” Berggren and Jenny Berggren (the three Berggrens are siblings). In the early ’90s, their debut single “Wheel of Fortune” became a hit in Scandinavia, which led to the group connecting with producer Denniz Pop (who would later spawn the careers Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, and Max Martin).

After the group’s 1992 debut Happy Nation became an international hit (going on to sell 21 million copies), it was re-released in North America in 1993 as The Sign. Three singles from the album became top five pop hits in the US, including “All That She Wants” (#2), “Don’t Turn Around” (#4), and “The Sign” (#1 for six weeks). The Sign went on to sell over 10 million copies.
