[Intro]
Da capo
Da capo
You're living in a dreamer's dream
Da da capo

[Verse 1]
One level ahead
I'm calling to you
But touch you I cannot do
To tell you i can't
I'm drawing the line
To greetings to understand

[Pre-Chorus]
You will find me waiting out in the dark
I'm your everlasting property
You're the one I'm living for and feed
All the time

[Chorus]
Da da capo, once again
I'm telling you I am your friend
But you can hear me in your dream
You're living in a dreamer's dream
Da da capo
Gone with the wind I am not
And I visit you too alot
Passing the gridlock
Is a hard thing to do

[Verse 2]
I'm longing to see the offspring of me
To hold it with my bare hands
So talk about me as you used to do
I'm with you from time to time

[Pre-Chorus]
You will find me waiting out in the dark
I'm your everlasting property
You're the one I'm living for
And feed all the time
With your deeds all the time

[Chorus]
Da Da Capo
Once again
I'm telling you I am your friend
But you can't hear me in your dream
You're living in a dreamer's dream
Da Da Capo
Gone with the wind I am not
And I visit you too a lot
Passing the gridlock
Is a hard thing to do

[Outro]
Oh yeah
But you can hear me in your dream
Oh no (you're living in a dreamer's dream)
Da da capo

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.
