I'm 72 & divorced. This song is so true. As you get older all those things that caused you grief tend to dissolve & more importantly no one is really to blame.
Most of the people loves" The winner takes it all" they dont remember this great song! All songs of Abba are history! This song is my favourite, it touches my heart!❤
With each passing year I'm getting more and more appreciative of the music of ABBA and the beautiful voice of Frida,she was a stunner in her younger days and has grown old so beautifully I love her for her voice her resilient attitude to the tragedy in her life what a georgeous lady in every way
ABBA hat einige gute Stücke gemacht, aber dieses hier ist mein absoluter Favorit. Sowohl die Musik als auch der bittersüße Text sind wunderbar und überaus berührend.
Today is November 15, 2019. Happy birthday, dear Frida! May all your dreams come true! Stay as beautiful, elegant and talented as you have always been. Best from Canada!
I've been to about 30 different concerts now including Abba on September 30th 1979 in Chicago. I was 13 and sat second row and no one absolutely no one can outdo this band! They are the best pop band in history!!
"Standin' calmly at the crossroads, no desire to run, there's no hurry any more when all is said and done" BRILLIANT and heartbreaking. If I'm in a bad enough mood I could cry tears to just that hook. One of the best lines of a song ever.
+Kaylyn Zoe : Well not only I COULD cry while listening to this song but I WILL cry. How were these two women able to sing it by the time their respective couples were splitting ? Admirable, in all meanings and aspects. And what moving voices !
It is very heartbreaking and yet, how can I Not smile when I hear and Still not too old for sex. They are just a perfect group. I wish they got along better now and let all the past go. Who cares what happened in the 70s? You're all in a better and happier place and for that, be nice to one other. Not so much for the other members, but for yourself. God bless them all and I introduced a lot of Marines in combat to their music. Semper Fi. Tough or soft, they are FANTASTIC.
ABBA, the most famous Anglo-Saxon band in history in the USA and in the United Kingdom, a group with enormous musical knowledge , remarkable compositional skills and the desire to seek perfection in every song. 💥A pop band that has made a business card out of simplicity and normality, not at all self-centered . 💥With their songs, TV appearances and in the media they conveyed a clear message, friendship, love and unity. 💥Two male musicians and two female singing pairs in real life were a winning team on stage as well. 💥This song is part of the album "The visitors ", ambitious album, released in 1981, both pairs of the band were divorced where the melancholy of ABBA of yore shines through , some songs convey the sadness and weakness the band was in as a group. 💥In particular, this song describes the end of a love story that time transforms, we go our separate ways, different but occasionally turning our heads towards a past that we remember with nostalgia and care that we must have for the stories that have been really important .... life is a set of experiences, lived for which we must be rigorously grateful because they give us awareness of how much love both weak and strong at the same time, every moment must be lived intensely with awareness . 💥 Thanks ABBA for this wonderful song ☺☺☺.. Thank you for lyrics .😊😊😊
I have been hearing this song from late 70's, at that time I was a student of Veterinary student. Even now when ever this song I stand for a while & listen the same. Such Nice song.
This is a really great song, both lyrically and melody-wise. It says so much in just a few words, which is one of Abba's strengths. I had never heard it before and just happened upon it. I don't know if it was ever released as a single, but if not, it should have been. A very mature, adult perspective on the end of a relationship and divorce.
In our lives, we have walked some strange and lonely treks. Slightly worn, but dignified, and not too old for sex. We're still striving for the sky, Got taste for humble pie. Thanks for all your generous love and thanks for all the fun. Neither you nor I'm to blame when all is said and done.
A great song indeed, my only regret is that it is too short. It could have told us more about Frida's and Benny painful divorce with a couple of verses more - Thank you very much.
I have always been a fan since the beginning. Mostly for Abbas' musical arrangements and the producing of their distinct sound. Thnx for all the uploads. Out standing!!!
Annifrid una dama adorable ella es imcoparable Dios le dio mucha fortaleza para pasar momentos adversos una gran luchadora tierna dulce una persona maravillosa ahora es muy feliz rodeada de mucho amor nos alegramos mucho porque se lo merece
Just a side note ABBA fans and Mamma mia fans this song is a breakup song not a love song. Mamma Mia did muddied the waters on this song to make it as a love song this is Frida's verison of the winner takes it all . look at the lyrics they are painful to read and probably to sing. There is a reason why the Winner takes it all and this song wasnt sung live.
one of my faves.....thought provoking lyrics yeh.....still they had sooooo many faves...luv ABBA...many thnx....bit hard to read lyrics with dark background but...still cool!
i came here for the lyrics, but on 3/4 of the screens, the words are the same color as the background; still don't know all of the lyrics because of this
The lyric is "slightly worn" not "slightly warmed". What could slightly warmed mean? I never got to see Abba live, but I did go to see the tribute band Arrival from Sweden a few years ago and they are as close to the real Abba as you will ever see. They will be in the USA this year, so check their web site for a show near you. You will not be disappointed.
And apparently meaning is the last thing lyrics websites care for... The most idiotic lyrics are propagated everywhere, while meaningful words are there for the taking/hearing.
Here's to us one more toast and then we'll pay the bill Deep inside both of us can feel the autumn chill Birds of passage, you and me We fly instinctively When the summer's over and the dark clouds hide the sun Neither you nor I'm to blame when all is said and done In our lives we have walked some strange and lonely treks Slightly worn but dignified and not too old for sex We're still striving for the sky No taste for humble pie Thanks for all your generous love and thanks for all the fun Neither you nor I'm to blame when all is said and done It's so strange when you're down and lying on the floor How you rise, shake your head, get up and ask for more Clear-headed and open-eyed With nothing left untried Standing calmly at the crossroads, no desire to run There's no hurry any more when all is said and done Standing calmly at the crossroads, no desire to run There's no hurry any more when all is said and done
I love the song. I came here for the lyrics. Unfortunately the green colour of the font used for the lyrics makes them very difficult to see. A poor choice
RCA Australia should have released this before One Of Us. In its unique Australian Only picture sleeve it would have been a massive hit. Sadly it was left until March 1982 and failed to chart because radio were convinced ABBA were … Said and Done and ignored it.
I'm 72 & divorced. This song is so true. As you get older all those things that caused you grief tend to dissolve & more importantly no one is really to blame.
Most of the people loves" The winner takes it all" they dont remember this great song! All songs of Abba are history! This song is my favourite, it touches my heart!❤
I love Frida Lyngstad.Frida is beautiful,cool,lovely,sunny,pure,real,strong and kind.I like Agnetha.I like ABBA.
I love Frida. Philosophic, brave, immeasurably talented with a great voice, unapologetic! What an inspiration for all women.
Now i am 70 years of age. In my
life time, here after i wont hear
the such nice songs with Melody
voice i am not going to Hear.
With each passing year I'm getting more and more appreciative of the music of ABBA and the beautiful voice of Frida,she was a stunner in her younger days and has grown old so beautifully I love her for her voice her resilient attitude to the tragedy in her life what a georgeous lady in every way
Most underrated Abba song ever.
a great song !!
@MagnaYu Abba didn't need to be saved! They made the decision not to continue on after this album
True bro ..I am South Africa this song is a bomb till this day and age
Not by me it's not probably up in my top 3 ABBA songs
ONE OF THEIR BEST SONG WITHOUT A DOUBT.
FRIDA AT HER BEST.
ABBA hat einige gute Stücke gemacht, aber dieses hier ist mein absoluter Favorit. Sowohl die Musik als auch der bittersüße Text sind wunderbar und überaus berührend.
… и мой - самый любимый!✊
It's my favorite too
Today is November 15, 2019. Happy birthday, dear Frida! May all your dreams come true! Stay as beautiful, elegant and talented as you have always been. Best from Canada!
Two years later and ABBA released two beautiful albums. A dream for all ABBA fans came true!
Fridas voice is pure magic
ANOTHER INCREDIBLE ABBA SONG. THE LYRICS AND ANNI-FRID'S VOCAL SO STRONG, LOOOVE THIS TUNE🤪😜😛
Princess Frida❤
Another classic that could easily have been a No.1.
I agree, idiot record label Epic wouldn't release it as a single because it had the word "sex" in it.
I've been to about 30 different concerts now including Abba on September 30th 1979 in Chicago. I was 13 and sat second row and no one absolutely no one can outdo this band! They are the best pop band in history!!
Amen to that.
That's not just an opinion, they are 2nd behind the Beatles in music history.
Amen!
The Beatles never wrote a song anywhere near as good as "The Day before you came" - Abba's best and one of the best ever written.
Lucky you man!
Life reflection & powerful lyrics. Frida is awesome in the vocals.
"Standin' calmly at the crossroads, no desire to run, there's no hurry any more when all is said and done" BRILLIANT and heartbreaking. If I'm in a bad enough mood I could cry tears to just that hook. One of the best lines of a song ever.
+Kaylyn Zoe : Well not only I COULD cry while listening to this song but I WILL cry. How were these two women able to sing it by the time their respective couples were splitting ? Admirable, in all meanings and aspects. And what moving voices !
Maurice Curie It's the best line out of one of the best songs I've ever heard.
+Maurice Curie I know right I don't think I have ever heard of two strong beautiful and talented women as the Abba girls
It is very heartbreaking and yet, how can I Not smile when I hear and Still not too old for sex. They are just a perfect group. I wish they got along better now and let all the past go. Who cares what happened in the 70s? You're all in a better and happier place and for that, be nice to one other. Not so much for the other members, but for yourself. God bless them all and I introduced a lot of Marines in combat to their music. Semper Fi. Tough or soft, they are FANTASTIC.
No ml
When words fail , I allways rely on ABBA . They’ve been pretty good so far.......
ABBA, the most famous Anglo-Saxon band in history in the USA and in the United Kingdom, a group with enormous musical knowledge , remarkable compositional skills and the desire to seek perfection in every song. 💥A pop band that has made a business card out of simplicity and normality, not at all self-centered . 💥With their songs, TV appearances and in the media they conveyed a clear message, friendship, love and unity. 💥Two male musicians and two female singing pairs in real life were a winning team on stage as well. 💥This song is part of the album "The visitors ", ambitious album, released in 1981, both pairs of the band were divorced where the melancholy of ABBA of yore shines through , some songs convey the sadness and weakness the band was in as a group. 💥In particular, this song describes the end of a love story that time transforms, we go our separate ways, different but occasionally turning our heads towards a past that we remember with nostalgia and care that we must have for the stories that have been really important .... life is a set of experiences, lived for which we must be rigorously grateful because they give us awareness of how much love both weak and strong at the same time, every moment must be lived intensely with awareness . 💥 Thanks ABBA for this wonderful song ☺☺☺.. Thank you for lyrics .😊😊😊
One of the all time Greatest hit
This is Frida’s anthem.
I have been hearing this song from
late 70's, at that time I was a student
of Veterinary student. Even now when ever this song I stand for a
while & listen the same. Such
Nice song.
WONDERFUL SONG, lead, mezzo-soprano vocal by sweet FRIDA ***
That song is packed full of meaning. I could easily be ABBA"s swan song.
Bedtimes D. ......It was.
I will love ABBA forever and ever! Greatest pop music of all time!!!
same!
much love Abba
So sad, but true. And Frida's voice, wonderful, amazing, awesome.
Such a great song with a sad meaning,, I love it,, and I love ABBA,!!
one of the greatest composed songs !!!
It is so touching, so strong. Its beautiful. Thanks for the lyrics! :)
My favorite ABBA song from all times ever
Agnetha and Frida.....very very nice
This is a really great song, both lyrically and melody-wise. It says so much in just a few words, which is one of Abba's strengths. I had never heard it before and just happened upon it. I don't know if it was ever released as a single, but if not, it should have been. A very mature, adult perspective on the end of a relationship and divorce.
Love and Peace.....Abba Forever and ever
it's kind of sad, but so many of their songs were about the groups' divorces. Still heart felt and awesome music.
Ohh..Agnes..how I love your songs and you..
One of my most favorite song , thanks for lyrics!!!
ABBA, Frida we love you!
In our lives, we have walked some strange and lonely treks.
Slightly worn, but dignified, and not too old for sex.
We're still striving for the sky,
Got taste for humble pie.
Thanks for all your generous love and thanks for all the fun.
Neither you nor I'm to blame when all is said and done.
Excellent song !!!!
FRIDA we jove you!!!
Such beautiful lyrics.
A great song indeed, my only regret is that it is too short. It could have told us more about Frida's and Benny painful divorce with a couple of verses more - Thank you very much.
I have always been a fan since the beginning. Mostly for Abbas' musical arrangements and the producing of their distinct sound. Thnx for all the uploads. Out standing!!!
Great song, I can relate to the lyrics!
Thank you.
Annifrid una dama adorable ella es imcoparable Dios le dio mucha fortaleza para pasar momentos adversos una gran luchadora tierna dulce una persona maravillosa ahora es muy feliz rodeada de mucho amor nos alegramos mucho porque se lo merece
When All Is Said And Done, unfortunately didn't make the hits but still it was written by two great composers, Bjorn and Benny.
Holds a personal meaning for everyone, I think
I always find myself back to this exact video... ima play this one when one of my girls get married!!!
Богиня👏👏👏❤🌹
Vraiment intemporel, s ecoute toujours avec plaisir
very very great song !
but that's the last of ABBA it's very sad
Hey nine-year old comment of mine, it's actually not ABBA's last recorded track before Voyage. Also your english sucks.
Combeferre writing in 2022
My favorite song list on the lines of ABBA, was When all is said & Done, One of Us
Of course there one of the pop greatest in all times
I like this song too it's by ABBA too
when you have given ur best and things just come to an inevitable end, say goodbye with no regrets and bade farewell without bitterness
Beautiful song! I love forever ABBA!
Just a side note ABBA fans and Mamma mia fans this song is a breakup song not a love song. Mamma Mia did muddied the waters on this song to make it as a love song this is Frida's verison of the winner takes it all . look at the lyrics they are painful to read and probably to sing.

Great song of melancholy
I love ABBA very much
Я их обожаю- песни этой группы моя молодость!
Just love abbas music
Such a beautiful voice
Great song - holds personal meaning to me :)
forever ABBA
I am really hapy watching your videos. I often find them just by chance. They all are so great.
Best song.from frida
I was feeling down so the doctor told me to take two ABBA songs every 🐈⬛🐈🫂♥️
very nice
one of my faves.....thought provoking lyrics yeh.....still they had sooooo many faves...luv ABBA...many thnx....bit hard to read lyrics with dark background but...still cool!
Linda canção
I wish I could have seen the lyrics more clearly
Perfect relationship song so flipping true
ABBA. ABBA. ABBA. ABBA. ABBA. ABBA. ABBA. ABBA. ABBA. ABBA. ABBA. FOR EVER !!
Great Music
Frustratingly hard to read the lyrics! Thanks for uploading. ღ
brilliant
ja .. so ist es ein super abba song ..
BUENA MANERA DE DECIR ADIOS A UNA RELACION.CON DIGNIDAD Y RESPETO.COMO DEBE DE SER.
When all it's said and done it gets hard but it won't take away my love
my favorite song:D
Zycie mija coraz wiecej wyzwań cieszmy sie terazniejszoscia kiedyś itak pojdziemy w. Cień
i came here for the lyrics, but on 3/4 of the screens, the words are the same color as the background; still don't know all of the lyrics because of this
Hard to read them.
I like the way the lyrics are impossible to read.
It seems to me as though you can hear Abba audibly perishing away in especially this track, and The Visitors album, their last real creation.
The lyric is "slightly worn" not "slightly warmed". What could slightly warmed mean? I never got to see Abba live, but I did go to see the tribute band Arrival from Sweden a few years ago and they are as close to the real Abba as you will ever see. They will be in the USA this year, so check their web site for a show near you. You will not be disappointed.
And I suppose we walked some strange and lonely tracks, not star treks...
And apparently meaning is the last thing lyrics websites care for... The most idiotic lyrics are propagated everywhere, while meaningful words are there for the taking/hearing.
Here's to us one more toast and then we'll pay the bill
Deep inside both of us can feel the autumn chill
Birds of passage, you and me
We fly instinctively
When the summer's over and the dark clouds hide the sun
Neither you nor I'm to blame when all is said and done
In our lives we have walked some strange and lonely treks
Slightly worn but dignified and not too old for sex
We're still striving for the sky
No taste for humble pie
Thanks for all your generous love and thanks for all the fun
Neither you nor I'm to blame when all is said and done
It's so strange when you're down and lying on the floor
How you rise, shake your head, get up and ask for more
Clear-headed and open-eyed
With nothing left untried
Standing calmly at the crossroads, no desire to run
There's no hurry any more when all is said and done
Standing calmly at the crossroads, no desire to run
There's no hurry any more when all is said and done
Constantine thanks for the lyrics
Wow my marriage in a song all wrapped up. Sad
It sounds like a farewell.
In the lyrics, I'm pretty sure she's singing "slightly worn," not "slightly warmed."
Yes, "worn" makes way more sense.
Standing calmly by your Tigers, when all is said and done....
Adios, ABBA. When all is said and done.
I love the song. I came here for the lyrics. Unfortunately the green colour of the font used for the lyrics makes them very difficult to see. A poor choice
RCA Australia should have released this before One Of Us. In its unique Australian Only picture sleeve it would have been a massive hit.
Sadly it was left until March 1982 and failed to chart because radio were convinced ABBA were … Said and Done and ignored it.
Cuando todo está dicho y hecho
A truly emotive adult break-up opus. Swifties probably wouldn't understand. 😜
patricia janeckova has the voice to sing an 'abba songbook' album.
see her on you tube.
she is just like another typical/regular opera singer
CAN'T READ THE LYRICS!!!!
This is the correct speed.
no one to blame
