Darling you were looking good
When you came to me
And asked for a dance
And I said,"We can dance."
Felt like a queen
Swedish summer nights are hot
And the trees can talk
We lay on the grass
So easily, so blessed
Whispers in blindness
And I didn't hold you back

I'm talking about it (babe)
'Cause you've been teasing me
I'm talking about it
'Cause you are bad right through
Stay with me and I shall want no other love
Stay with me another love another lie

Stay with me and I shall want no other love
You were talking so sweet
But you were touching and teasing

I can hear the soft bells ring
Through a thousand years
They call out to me
They say it's only once in a life we love
Now I've had that honor too
You were holding my hand
You were kissing my skin
Stay with me
Trees are whispering
Only once my dear

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.
