Roxette - Spending My Time (1991)

Swedish pop duo, formed in 1986 in Halmstad by Per Gessle and Marie Fredriksson.
The group enjoyed worldwide success from the late 1980s until the mid-1990s, gaining nineteen UK Top 40 hits and four US #1 singles with, "The Look", "Listen to Your Heart", "It Must Have Been Love" and "Joyride". Two further singles "Dangerous" and "Fading Like a Flower" hit #2. Finally, "Dressed for Success" was a modest hit in the US peaking at #14.
After a hiatus in the mid-1990s, their popularity continued in other territories such as Europe and South America, where they earned various Gold and Platinum awards until the beginning of the new millennium. In 2002 the duo took a break from recording and touring when Fredriksson was diagnosed with a brain tumour. In 2009 Roxette took to the stage together again for the first time in 8 years, during Gessle's European Party Crasher tour.
Their songs continue to receive radio airplay, with "It Must Have Been Love" and "Listen to Your Heart" both recently receiving awards from BMI for achieving four million radio plays. They have sold an estimated 60 million records worldwide, with over 3.5 million record sales in the United States, achieving platinum for Joyride and Look Sharp! there.

What's the time? Seems it's already morning
I see the sky, it's so beautiful and blue
The TV's on, but the only thing showing is a picture of you
Oh, I get up and make myself some coffee
I try to read a bit but the story's too thin
I thank the Lord above
You're not here to see me in this shape I'm in
Spending my time
Watching the days go by
Feeling so small
I stare at the wall
Hoping that you
Think of me too
I'm spending my time
I try to call, but I don't know what to tell you
I leave a kiss on your answering machine
Oh, help me please
Is there someone who can make me wake up from this dream?
Spending my time
Watching the days go by
Feeling so small
I stare at the wall
Hoping that you are missing me too
I'm spending my time (I'm spending my time)
Watching the sun go down
I fall asleep to the sound of tears of the clown
Prayer gone blind
I'm spending my time
My friends keep telling me, "Hey, life will go on"
Time will make sure I'll get over you
This silly game of love you play, you win only to lose
I'm spending my time (spending my time)
Watching the days go by
Feeling so small
I stare at the wall
Hoping that you
Think of me too
I'm spending my time (spending my time)
Watching the sun go down
I fall asleep to the sound of tears of the clown
Prayer gone blind
I'm spending my time
Spending my time
I can't live without your love
Spending my time
Uh, I'm spending my time, my time, my time
The bed is too big without you honey, honey?
Spending my time
Spending my time
