[Hook]
Doreen, Do-Do-Doreen
That somber day
Doreen, Do-Do-Doreen

[Verse 1]
What wouldn't I give to resume our last goodbye?
I can't describe it
We met by chance here in Central Park
But where I can't remember
Give me a moment
Give me peace at heart
I'm thinking back
And I'm so sorry
I didn't expect
Such a fast depart
Together again
I didn't worry

[Hook]
Doreen, Do-Do-Doreen
That somber day
Doreen, Do-Do-Doreen
Don't fade away

[Verse 2]
With you the colors had a brighter shade
The sky was bluer and I was smiling
Now I'm stuck in an eternal fall
But I do recall your flavors
Give me a moment
Give me peace at heart
I'm thinking back
And I'm so sorry
I didn't expect
Such a fast depart
Together again
I didn't worry

[Hook]
Doreen, Do-Do-Doreen
That somber day
Doreen, Do-Do-Doreen
Don't fade away

[Verse 3]
But where do you turn to
When your answers long gone
I turn to the sunrise
And that is because, because of you

[Hook]
Doreen, Do-Do-Doreen
That somber day
Doreen, Do-Do-Doreen (Doreen)
Doreen, Do-Do-Doreen (That somber day)
Doreen, Do-Do-Doreen (Doreen)

[Bridge]
With you the colors had a brighter shade
The sky was bluer and I was smiling
Now I'm stuck in an eternal fall
But I do recall your flavors

[Hook]
Doreen (Doreen, Doreen)
Doreen
Doreen (Doreen, Doreen)

Ace of Base

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.
