- ABBA's The Way Old Friends Do from ABBA's album Super Trouper 1980. I love this song so much! It's very beautiful!
LYRICS:
You and I can share the silence
Finding comfort together
The way old friends do
And after fights and words of violence
We make up with each other
The way old friends do
Times of joy and times of sorrow
We will always see it through
Oh I don't care what comes tomorrow
We can face it together
The way old friends do
You and I can share the silence
Finding comfort together
The way old friends do
And after fights and words of violence
We make up with each other
The way old friends do
Times of joy and times of sorrow
We will always see it through
Oh I don't care what comes tomorrow
We can face it together
The way old friends do
We can face it together
The way old friends do

I think the world is desperately longing for, yearning...but hopeless. The time is gone where such greatness and joy could flourish! ❤ Abba.
The greatest pure pop group in history. Their wonderful songs will be appreciated for ever.
ABBA is from Sweden, but they are a world treasure.
what do you mean, ”but”?
Better than American pop music.
АВВА - это моя молодость, самое лучшее, что может быть в жизни! Спасибо тебе АВВА за вечную молодость! ❤❤❤
I'm in love with this song. Thank so much.
Wonderful songs
as I get older the thought of my friends dying and leaving dwell on my heart, this song is my tribute to all my dear and love old friends, may God keep them always in his present.
Very nice
Just read your comment and what a beautiful thought also to have the greatest band in the world sing is a great bonus for your lost friends
@@patrickmccarthy3123 thank for a truthful share...
Though I've listened to ABBA for at least 40yrs, just heard this today for the first time.
My eyes filled with tears, & choked up with emotion. What a beautiful anthem.
God bless you, ABBA. ❤❤
Saw them end Wembley Show with this song in 1979. Also saw them at Birmingham Odeon in 1977. Absolutely superb live. Been fan since 1974 - giving my age away!! 😅 ❤🙏🏻
Me too
@@janparish7895 Wish I'd been there....what a heartwarming memory. 😉👍
@ccmcgaugh After all these years, the happy memories remain 😊🙏🏻❤️

ABBA ist die beste Musik, die jemanls auf diese Welt gekommen ist.
ABBA is the best music that ever have reached the world.
ich bin Musikerin und kenne viel Musik - nichts ist so intakt, so grossartig wie ABBA
I'm musichian and I know no better music than ABBA
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Naja, Geschmäcker sind verschieden… 😉😂🤣😂🤣😂
Perfect ABBA, perfect song. A.B.B.A. four perfect people, Say all you want, search all you want...you will never, ever find anyone musically better than these four people, or as far as I'm concerned, you'll never find anyone else as nice as these four people.
I don't search at all I am 💯 sure I will never find anyone who can touch my soul and heart so deeply as Abba, they are the best as far as I am concerned never get tired to listen to their marvelous music and songs, this one is one of the most touching song among others
I cannot listen to this and not weep. I'm so blessed with the friends I've had in my life. And this song is that reminder.
Je crois que ma génération avait de la chance de connaître ABBA ils sont juste merveilleux
Totally agree! I was captivated by this song when I first heard it, aged about ten, while my Mum was playing some of her records. Even though it seemed like a bit of an "afterthought", being the last track on Side B, it shone out as the best track on the album, and I think this still beats even the most famous of ABBA's other (great) tracks. It's so beautiful - both words and music. I know it by heart and sing it all the time. My kids love it too! Great music never dies :) Thanks for the video!!
This is a great song, no doubt. I'm just realizing that I never appreciated how great this song was when I used to listen to it because it was, well, an afterthought. However, saying that this is the best track on the album is a BOLD STATEMENT. Every song on this album was so good. In my opinion, this was their best album by far.
Ilove it I love tuch ing iloveit thank you
85
Iam a73 year old and it blow me away h hunter
I lost my partner of 34 years on the 14th February 2020 to cancer and this song just reminds me of what a great friend she was, thank you ABBA
i lost mine after 23 years--i still sob about it--even now i can't get over it--sorry for your loss--time heals as they say--J.
Dear Gwyn: I share your story. My wife of 32 years passed away Oct 2020 after a 60 month all out, scorched earth battle with carcinoma. I miss her dearly still each day. My heart is reminded how we took on every challenge together until that point. Subsequent to her passing I now confront problems by myself without the benefit of her wisdom and counsel. R.I.P. dear Cheryl!!!
Velox Versutus Vigilans
Sorry for your loss
Держись! Всё будет хорошо!
@@greyowl7869 I know what you are feeling, I miss my husband after 26 years of happiness nasty cancer of lungs a battle lost after 3 years of crual therapy
Thank to you ABBA.❤❤❤
C'est un chef d'oeuvre !! Les harmonies sont extraordinaires
Ich liebe dieses Lied... Wie soviele von ABBA❤
Thanks for the music. Abba!!!!
ABBA... they were truly very very special... beyond words !
My tears are falling as I listen to this beautiful song and amazing voices. The words are so amazing and makes me think of all my good friends.
reminds me of my ex--its been the silent treatment for ages--well if that what she wants--thats what she will get from me too.
I bet you are shedding more tears listening to their new amazing songs
@@hunkhk I sure am, happy tears for sure
It's amazing how this song pulls at the heartstrings of the many people who commented here ,ABBA gave it their full brilliance in its delivery ,they were not just a great band but the best ever makes me cry at times with emotion when I hear Fridas voice at the beginning of this beautiful song.
Super!!!!!
I have always considered this song as a true description of the life with my late grandmother- she died last year at 92. I will always remember her.
The Way Old Friends Do just prove that ABBA can forget the past and continue their friendship that today is going strong. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Is Abba a pair of wife n husband?
@@fendiardi4412 aaàaaààaàaaaàààààààaàà
Abba... Tq q for the music..
Very beautiful 💖💖
Sometimes I am overwhelmed by how quickly time has gone by. This song touches my heart. Hearts break but they also love. I am grateful to ABBA but I don't know how to express it. I will hold them in my heart forever.
Beautiful comment. Hope you are enjoying their renaissance as much as I am
@@hunkhk oh yes. It is a complete and utter joy. So glad you are too!
Dear friend Eliott.
There was an aunt of mine, who always repeated to me every day while getting ready for school "time waits on no man"
Boy we've had some great groups and artists over the years. Elvis and the Beatles and even ABBA. It's around 40 years since ABBA but this song still touches my heart. Blessings to yer.
They were unique..... magical songs .......magical singing.......magical harmonies......not like today's garbage. Will never see the likes of them again....so grateful I have lived through this era. Thank you for the music Abba.
I agree completely Barry. Magical songs,singing, harmonies and much more besides. They were truly transcendent. To think it all began in essence with them singing in silly outfits in the abysmal Euro song contest. At the time I didn't care for 'Waterloo'. But what magic they went on to produce. I just wish they would give us a farewell tour. I'm sure they would still sound good. As you say we will never see the likes of them again.
Prachtig
Please don't use the "N" word!!! I'd like to believe some day we'll have another group that can sing just as well. We can always hope...
If Mozart had written pop music, it might (would) have sounded the same .... Unfortunately, it has been said before ( so I can't claim to be original) .
Well said Barry, I agree completely
An absolutely beautiful song connecting to the heart and soul.xx
MAGNIFIQUE. GROUPE la belle equipe
Stunning voices..perfect harmonies..awesome music..wise full lyrics.
A real masterpiece 👌👍👏‼️
What a New Year’s Eve song
Though "Happy New Year" is also quite useful then 🙂
Pure magic. I know they had their moment in the sun and it can't be recreated. But dear God how I wish I could go back in time and be young again. Even if it was only for a moment it'd be worth it.
From the very first time I listened to this clip this is what I have wanted for my demise, now that my son passed away about 10 days ago this is going to be for him and his friends. Still brings tears to my eyes.
Take heart. He is resting with God
Tears to my eyes too after listening to this song which is the most touching hymn I ever heard. We need God's support for all of us with your son looking at us from the heaven.
Прекрасно. Никто не сумел даже приблизиться к ним по красоте пения!
Coldplay Fix you
Well said they are The absolute best Coldplay is the other band that is the best ever two legendary bands
One of the greatest hymns ever!!!! So touching!!
_Why do I love all the sad songs...Simply beautiful..._
Michael Crowe ......because you have a good heart.
Funny, I find the song uplifting. Even though the melody sounds melancholy I find the lyrics uplifting. But you sound like you are a very good person. Enjoy
Love this, to me it’s a song of lifelong friendship through thick and thin. The rare friendship where you don’t see each other for months but are able to pick up where you left off as if it had been just 5 minutes.
because they make us cry.. and we need to cry sometimes
Very very moving
Busquei por essa música por 40 anos!!!!!! Imensamente feliz por ter encontrado!!!
It is a nice song. A beutiful slow melody and grate lyrics. I ❤ it.
Lovely song my favourite band...there will never ever be anyone like this fab band .
The words are so beautiful and moving 😍
I didn't apreciate this song before.I was mistaken!!!It is great.
Me too
I love. The beautiful song that is the way old friends do
We used to party with good friends Mike, Carol, Jim, John, Ton, Tonny and played this song when the party was over. Beautiful memories...
Voices of angels, nuff said!
One word....stunning.
ABBA si alawys a dream, this song send me out of my body. I float way to space!!
Best group ever
wonderful !!....
The most decent and worthy farewell of a mega pop band ever in history.
40 years later...
ABBA: We're baaaaaack!
Actually, the last song they sang publicly together (before the 20xx reunion) - it was on some BBC programme, in 198x; there wasn't an audience, it was just rather pleasant around a piano - was also an excellent farewell: it was their "Thank you for the music". That's a very different song, but also an excellent closer.
Never knew ABBA sang this, its a brilliant song.
Its not ABBA s original one.....
@@ahsanhabib988 Wrong. Look at the compos. Byorn and Ben
@@ahsanhabib988 Not correct !
Composed by Björn & Benny.
It was the final song at their North American & European Tour 1979.
I visited the concert at the 27th October in the olympia hall Munich.
I stood (connections) before the stage and agnetha shook my hand.
I remember this day/moment- goosebumps.
So, every year the 27th october is an especially day for me, like the birth days of my 2 daughters..
@@Mi62Ni wonderful.
There are many Abba gems aside from the well known hits. This particular song is my all time favourite but not well known.
Especially moving, considering their history. ABBA forever.
My best friend died a long long time ago. It is so painful to lose someone that is so close to you. Miss you Biaks
This song stopped a man from committing suicide.
when i die--please play this song
my now ex and i divorced a few years back--i still miss her tons n tons--but what she did to me was unforgiveable .
More an anthem than a song - brilliant!
PECKA...a KRÁSA....Nesmrtelná ABBA....SOBOTA- 1.4.2023...22.20HODIN...
Another amazing vocal, another amazing and powerful peace of lyrics of this amazing and timeless group from Sweden. And this time - about what I think must be the definition/expression of what a REAL friendship is all about! Facing times of joy and times of sorrow or trouble together, but always manage finding a way to make up somehow and let the friendship stay strong, or maybe grow stronger!
Sînt CEI mai buni
I dedicate listening to this today, 9/17/2021, to our dear friend & fellow ABBA lover: Artur Kraeutner. So schoen dass du unser lieber Freund warst, unglaublich dass du nicht mehr hier bist.
It's a simple song but pretty meaningful and tons of feelings and thoughts for each other.
Beautiful song abba
Bravo! Bravisimo!
what a lovely Girl!
ABBA THIS LYRICS-THE WAY OLD FRIENDS DO, BEAUTIFUL AND TRYING BE THE WORLD ONES VERY BEAUTIFUL SONGS MENNING FOR OURS MINE & OURS HART TOUCHABLE♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ 🎼🎸🎻🎤🎷

Just Epic!
Amo o " ABBA " , nunca deveriam nos ter deixado , apesar de tantas músicas singelas , perfeitas , que legaram a todos nós . Ouvia essa , sentia nostalgia , sentia melancolia dos " gritos dela " ! E me lembrava de uma pessoa familiar ...Após prestar atenção na letra e também na versão em português , não conseguia ouvi-la , a beleza é rara , porém , foi em momentos após volta de minha Mãe á Pátria Espiritual . Já me harmonizei e amo ouvi-la . Gratidão , Tanskus pela postagem . Nos alegra . Paz e Luz . São Paulo-20-01-2021
I lost my best friend too she loved Abba same as me & would of loved this song
For my beloved mother I dedicate this song who recently died coz of the covid
Beautiful group such harmonies wonderful times great nostalgia
mine and my best friend Ella song just love this record so moving and powerful background music Abba is my no1 favorite band in the world!!!!!!!
Thanks to Robbie Leslie, This was the last song played at the Saint Black Party..............Thank You, Robbie
I was told this was the last song that they performed together.
They sang this at Wembley in 1979 they were still at their height of their fame. But in 1980s when they divorced each other this song hits fans quite differently. but ABBA are still good friends with each other today even though they are exes now they can still be friends. A lot of people thinks they hate each other due to Benny and Bjorn remarrying in the late 80s early 90s. but they have since forgiven each other and probably have the best friendships ever. in 2016 they sang this song in their way of forgiving of the past and finding comfort together the way old friends do.
No, they toured Japan in 1980 (but the did not record the concerts), and they had a pocket live show at Dick Cavett in 1980
In their 1979/1980 concert tour, they always closed with it (and it's a very powerful closer); like The Seekers did with "The Carnival Is Over" in _their_ (50th anniversary!) tour in 2014. The last song ABBA sang together (in 198x, before the 20xx reunion) was a quiet (no audience, just the presenters) round-the-piano in a BBC studio, and was - fittingly also, it's another good closer though very different - their "Thank You For The Music". [You can find it on here.]
All.The Best
Without ABBA there is no hope
Essa letra diz a pura verdade sobre uma amizade verdadeira.
The small beautiful Kingdom of ESwatini loves Abba, soberd.
" THX U 4 THE MUSIC " u made !!!!! i use it...... when i need something special !!!!
other of beautiful songs of Abba, thanks for nice video and lyrics
Es verdad fueron y siguen siendo muy buenos amigos 😉
Awesome!!!!
This is the song my friend back home always sang for each other whenever we felt outnof norm ( upset or sad)
Each never word touched me
This is song my friends sang at airport when I was leaving for USA 21 yrs back
abba 1979 gran himno
If ABBA can forgive, why can't everyone else?
In theory. Only Benny and Bjorn remained friends.
It's hard for women to forgive easily.
@@resireg The couples divorced, but I think they all remained friends to some extent; you only have to look at them at the revivals to see there's no long-term hatred.
@@G6JPG Benny and Bjorn were still friends. The group reunited once for their manager birthday in 84 or 85, and later only in 2008 for the Mamma Mia premiere. They moved on with their lives.
@@resireg I was responding to Ashwini McCormack's comment, which implied at least that the women were somewhat unforgiving; while no divorce is a patch of roses, I've not really seen any evidence that there's significant ill-feeling among any of them. As you say, they just moved on with their lives - but just because they all did other things doesn't mean there's bitterness.
I love this song!!!!
Just heard this on their new promo video..never heard it before..totally love it
Number one..va ramane..in veci..
They are true friends.
Went to a blacktie gala 2 months ago. They played this song. I cried like a baby over my dinner I couldn't even catch my breath enough to eat. Everything about this song reminded me of my father.😢 He died in 2015. I loved him but we always agrued so much when I was a child. I now understand most of what he was trying desperately to impart then. I can't tell him now 😿😭😪😥😢 We can't even argue. God! I miss him!
Hamilton Addict .....He knew you loved him, and that is all that matters.
Naia Owens god rest his soul
ABBA fans know the lyrics in this song are about ABBA, themselves, about their time together from day one of ABBA through today, 2019, Their friendship was and is Love, each loving the other three. ABBA fans know this, and personally, ABBA singing this song just warms my heart to no end.
They really inspire me, I will always love Abba and I some day hope to meet them face to face.
God bless them.
I was feeling down so the doctor told me to take two ABBA songs every day 🐈⬛🐈🫂❤️
I love the song "The way old friends do," that both Abba and Daniel O Donnel sing so well. On the web some say that Daniel wrote it, others that Abba wrote it. However, I believe that it is much older than either of them. It sounds like an old Celtic folk song. Am I right?
David Grimoldby The way old friends do is written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulveaus from Abba and are from the album Super Trouper from 1980, Daniel O Donnell did a cover of it in 1997. Benny Andersson have done a lot of folkmusic aswell. Listen to another song by Abba ”arrival” and you get the point😊
Interesting that so many ”know” this is not written by ABBA. I suppose it seems unlikely to them that Swedes can write music that resembles Celtic folk music. But this tune also has a lot of Swedish folk music in it. Benny was always very keen on Swedish folk music. He plays a mean accordion btw.
very nice
