[Verse 1]
L'autre jour dans un bosquet
Il me ceuilloit un bouquet;
Il en orna ma boulette
Me disant: belle brunette
Flore est moins belle que toi:
L'amour moins tendre que moi

[Chorus]
I say love is precious when it dies
You follow him precise
His pick-up line decieving you
I say love is precious when it dies
It's a moment passing by
That's why you're so believing

[Verse 2]
Play after play, they buy his double play
He's down at the fiesta, where people get together
Taste that bitter sweet surprise
Appreciate your heart and your soul has been revised

[Chorus]
I say love is precious when it dies
You follow him precise
His pick-up line decieving you
I say love is precious when it dies
It's a moment passing by
That's why you're so believing

[Verse 3]
Wave after wave, they fall for his behavior
A gentle whisper and they crave - he is so depraved
Taste that bitter sweet surprise
Appreciate your heart and your soul has been revised

[Chorus]
I say love is precious when it dies
You follow him precise
His pick-up line decieving you
I say love is precious when it dies
It's a moment passing by
That's why you're so believing

[Bridge]
Now night falls and you feel so lonely (and you feel so lonely)
Because you're the only (only one)
Hey little diamond, dreams are forever
You will endeavour more than memories

L'autre jour dans un bosquet
Il me ceuilloit un bouquet;
Il en orna ma boulette
Me disant: belle brunette
Flore est moins belle que toi:
L'amour moins tendre que moi

[Chorus]
I say love is precious when it dies
You follow him precise
His pick-up line decieving you
I say love is precious when it dies
It's a moment passing by
That's why you're so believing

[Outro]
I say love, love, love is all around
Take us with us a common ground
I say love, love, love is all around
That's the foot print of who we are

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.
