[Verse 1]
I'm a sinner with a broken heart
It's not easy but we made it (In)to an art
Joy until the morning do us apart
Without love, without names

[Chorus]
One day, one day of my time
That's what it takes for you to love me
One day, one day of my time
And again and again that melody
You're never gonna reach that part of me, oh
One day, one day of my time

[Verse 2]
All forgotten with the break of dawn
But our story lingers on
I'm leaving with my passion full withdrawn
With your essence already gone

[Chorus]
One day, one day of my time
That's what it takes for you to love me
One day, one day of my time
And again and again that melody
You're never gonna reach that part of me, oh
One day, one day of my time

[Bridge]
Maybe 'cause I'm a gambler
Tired of this Bodegas
Some say I'm a rambler
Searching for my Vegas (Searching for my Vegas)
One day is all I need (Is all I need..)

[Chorus]
One day, one day of my time
That's what it takes for you to love me
One day, one day of my time
And again and again that melody
You're never gonna reach that part of me, oh
One day, one day of my time
One day, one day of my time
That's what it takes for you to love me
One day, one day of my time
And again and again that melody
You're never gonna reach that part of me, oh
One day, one day of my time

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.
