Agnetha Faltskog - I Wish Tonight Could Last Forever

Agnetha sings her fourth song "I Wish Tonight Could Last Forever" from The Heat Is On Special in April 1983. This show was part of a European tour that Agnetha made to promote her first post Abba solo album, titled Wrap Your Arms Around Me. The album reached the higher regions of the charts across Europe, including No.1 in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Belgium and Denmark. Agnetha gives a confident relaxed performance here of this tuneful romantic song.
Lyrics, Music: Russ Ballard
It feels so good to be by your side,
Oh, darling let me be your guide
From tonight let's stay together,
There's a blue moon up in the sky,
Tonight, it's there for you and I
Darling, let my love surround you
Oh, but I'm so glad I found you
I wish tonight could last forever,
Oh, darling can we stay together?
From now on let's vow we'll never part,
'Cos darling that will break my heart,
And when the light brings tomorrow,
Oh, darling, will it bring me sorrow,
Will you let me hold you in this way?
Oh, I wish tonight could last forever
Tonight I feel it in the air,
Just look around it's everywhere,
Who knows where the night will lead us?
Oh, it feels so good to hold you tight
Hold you close without a soul in sight,
We came together without warning,
And stayed together 'til the morning
I wish tonight could last forever,
Oh, darling can we stay together?
From now on let's vow we'll never part,
'Cos darling that will break my heart,
And when the light brings tomorrow,
Oh, darling, will it bring me sorrow,
Will you let me hold you in this way?
Oh, I wish tonight could last forever
Oh, it feels so good to hold you tight
To hold you close without a soul in sight,
Came together without warning,
And stayed together til the morning.
I wish tonight could last forever,
Oh, darling can we stay together?
From now on let's vow we'll never part,
'Cos darling that will break my heart,
And when the light brings tomorrow,
Oh, darling, will it bring me sorrow,
Will you let me hold you in this way?
Oh, I wish tonight could last forever
Oh, I wish tonight could last forever.

...Счастливые 80-е....прекрасная песня от красатульки Агнеты.... вернуться хотя бы на денек в то прекрасное время....

[@ysaacwichmann8675]

I love the beautiful Agnetha's voice and all their songs . She's the best Swedish singer of all times in the World music , super talented Agnetha .

[@abbafanglosuk]

She performed half the album in this one show Jim, the audience got a real treat. Yes its very disarming when she looks straight at you with her charming smile at 0:48!

[@erikskifte8862]

This from her solo album, Wrap your arms around me, which I still play over and over again. It's a GEM, so many GREAT songs on it😉😘😋

[@unamckillen7125]

This was the start of her post-ABBA career, her "little fame". Mike Chapman created and produced this. I think it is glorious. She is there with musicians she trusts from her ABBA days and Smokie and sweet girl backing singers, all courtesy of Mike Chapman and all rehearsed in a studio in Stockholm known to Agnetha. I have always thought Agnetha has one of the best voices in show business and Mike Chapman is one of the nicest men in show business. This showcases the both of them.

[@12doorknob]

What makes her so special is the combination of her mannerisms, the way she pronounces English words in her own Swedish accent, the way she exudes warmth like she's singing to YOU personally. Fabulous Agnetha. She makes you happy no matter what. She makes you happy to be alive!

[@derlinclaire1778]

So very true,my frìiend.May God kindly bless,and keep this dear lady well,and safe.She made this old world just a little nicer by being in it.

[@remoteobserver4173]

So is it. Greetings a both. 😉👍

[@amandagebler7571]

she has the most beautiful voice ever. her control and such fluidity is calming.

[@cezarbonciu428]

She doesn't changed. Her voice rested same of gold and she's so beautiful and gorgeous like in years when she was at ABBA group. I like her so much, her voice of gold is so beautiful. I love you Agnetha. I am from Romania.

[@joseolvera309]

Hi cesar from U.S. we salute. AGNETHA FALTSCOG IS THE BEST SINGER OF THE WORLD. AND ALSO BEAUTYFUL

[@valmarfernandesmelro3423]

Agnetha had melody in her soul! His voice was very well tuned and had a remarkable and unmistakable timbre! She charmed generations of fans as a member of ABBA and continued wonderfully, perhaps even better, in her solo career after ABBA! Congratulations on being a brilliant songwriter, singer and performer!

[@gailjohnston7980]

What a voice and she is so caring and beautiful the two girls made abba the brilliant band it is

Самый прекрасный голос в мире! Агнета во всем совершенство!

[@albertofiori9196]

Smokie, una delle migliori band di quel tempo. Se si sono prestati a fare il coro ad Agnetha vuol dire che hanno riconosciuto il valore intrinseco di questa grande artist. Meravigliosa Agnetha, bellezza assoluta e voce unica nel panorama musicale ❤❤

[@abbafanglosuk]

Yes this still sounds as fresh and stylish today as it did then! Agnetha sings more softly than usual to match the nice tune and sentiments. Its an honour for me to bring her songs and performances to the fans to see!

[@luciahelenagomes784]

Essa música é maravilhosa, linda demais ❤ Agnetha parabéns!

[@michal7758]

During the ABBA years I love both Agnetha and Frida, but afterwards I think I prefer Agnetha. And before, too, for that matter. She has so much emotion in her voice... Not to say I don't admire Anni-Frid too, her voice is just great as well. Did you know that when they brainstormed names for their group, FABB was also an option? Just a random fact. I wish tonight could last forever...

[@Veronica4u2day]

O God i love this song

Glad I've found a new Agnetha song for you Di. This is a nice gentle song, perfectly delivered by Agnetha in her own unique style.

[@JanKowalski-rq7dv]

Very good song and music.Fan.

[@davidshirley712]

Always amazing!!! I hope she never stops.

[@unamckillen7125]

I discovered this TV special about a year ago and it was great to see Agnetha solo. She is clearly dressed the way she wanted and the sexier for it. I dont think it would be possible to get again that wonderful mix of those two soprano and mezzo-soprano voices that "made" ABBA (along with the song writing talents of Benny and Bjorn). Still, it is nice to see she had a career after ABBA. She clearly struggled with the mega-fame of ABBA after her marriage had ended.

[@BPRichfield1]

Great song of a fantastic "ABBA"-Agnetha. She's really beautiful.

[@abbafanglosuk]

Yes its nice and gentle, with a terrific intro!

[@abbafanglosuk]

Yes that little sequence from 0:43 - 0:52 sums up the magical appeal of Agnetha for us Steve - no one else does these enticing things naturally while singing like she does!

[@djaor]

another great Russ Ballard song !!!!

[@luciahelenagomes784]

Bom dia meus amores ABBA, creio eu que Deus tem muitas bençãos pra vocês, vcs são muito amados por Deus ela tem um propósito para vida de cada um de vcs sua família! Amo vcs demais de ❤! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ sucesso em tudo que vocês forem 😍

25 years ago... timeless... wow... nice job again... thank you for sharing this with us!

[@abbafanglosuk]

Cheers Jose. Agnetha has her own way of making these propsitions sound so inviting, you think she's singing to you only. I'll never turn her down!

[@rosmasab2114]

She still sings beautiful songs and capturing our hearts after ABBA simply because of her distinguish angelic voice.

[@abbafanglosuk]

I'm delighted to bring these super Agnetha songs to you Laura, you're a very good friend.

[@abbafanglosuk]

This song gets better every time I come here to respond Marie. It's nice, gentle and romantic with a catchy tune that stays with you. The morning usually means work and the daily routine Marie, we would all like to stay longer with someone we love I think!

[@andreaceleste6380]

Agnetha the BEST... What was goong yo do ABBA without her !!!

[@abbafanglosuk]

Fantastic intro to this song - its as nice as Agnetha is!

[@abbafanglosuk]

That's brilliant Fiona. Hugs for you and your mum from me! It's nice when youngsters appreciate proper singing like this.

[@ClassicMusicArchives]

I know it is hard to look past Agneta, but if you watch it a lot of times you start noticing many members of the Abba band in the background, good to see.

[@abbafanglosuk]

Thanks Gustavo. My night is lasting forever, its nearly 5am here (oh dear). If only Agnetha was here with me ... She sings this nice gentle romantic song so perfectly, I'd have fallen asleep in her arms hours ago!

[@abbafanglosuk]

This is another one that you can't forget Connie - the nice gentle intro just won't leave your mind!

[@twinPaula12]

What a sweet song . I loved Agnetha when she was part of Abba and it's great to see some songs by her here. This is such a pretty love song. I like the band, too. It all comes together so nicely - sort of country and sort of pop - it's just great. Thank you for posting this. - Paula

[@stevethirtyacre1660]

Wow Agenetha ! Graat song :)

[@abbafanglosuk]

Yeah the startup here is terrific Samahi, and its so nice and gentle as it flows alongs! You need to get Agnetha's 1983 album "Wrap Your Arms Around Me", these super songs are all on there. I've got it, and play it in my car often.

[@nosferatu8530]

This has the ABBA sound alllllll over it 😍😍😍

[@abbafanglosuk]

Thanks Megan - always like coming back to this one, its so nice and gentle and the intro is fantastic!

[@acertainhuman9726]

This is one of her best songs

[@troylockhart05]

''I Wish She Would Sing Foreveerrr :) ''

[@abbafanglosuk]

Yes and she shows it tantalisingly at 0:45 -0:54 Becca, with her inviting smile and flashing eyes! Its there again at 1:31 and 2:00, she does it so naturally and beautifully! Her nice dance movements to the music throughout make your heart skip!

[@Halo101st]

Those eyes, that look at .45 gives me chills.

[@abbafanglosuk]

Hi Dallas, yes this is a nice gentle romantic song, with a great bouncy backbeat that stays with you. Its very easy on the mind for us oldies, that's why we like it! Agnetha carries this off stylishly and effortlessly. She has the ability to do another album, but maybe not the desire. There's nothing more for her to prove now after the excellent comeback album My Colouring Book showed she retained all her wonderful vocal range, so its looking increasingly unlikely there will be any more.

The audience definitely appreciate her enchanting performance here Jim. Have you seen song 2 "Wrap Your Arms Around Me"? She's so hot in that it has to be censored! It's not for the faint hearted.

Have sent you message on Agnetha CDs query Max. I agree with your sentiments entirely, Agnetha is the most romantic singer you could wish for. Nearly all ladies would be won over listening to her nice songs, they generate good friendly feelings!

Hi John, I understand just what you're saying. When Agnetha sings like this we all miss her very much! More than Abba I think, she's a very special lady. Thankfully she made her wonderful comeback album My Colouring Book in 2004. Thanks for sub, its John from UK.

Hi Max, I've enjoyed presenting this series of Agnetha vids from one single show. Its like being her manager and setting her schedule, hope she appreciates me! This song in particular is very easy going and romantic. My supply is running down, have to have a rummage soon.

[@abbafanglosuk]

Yes this is a nice and gentle song that really grows on you and has a great intro! Agnetha performed 6 songs from her new "Wrap Your Arms Around Me" album in this show: These were: 1. The Heat Is On 2. Can't Shake Loose 3, Wrap Your Arms Around Me 4. I Wish Tonight Could Last Forever 5. Mr. Persuasion 6. Shame. I've done all 6 videos showing Agnetha singing each song from this show - cheers from John!

Agnetha Fältskog

[@unamckillen7125]

Oh, I looked past her right from the start. Don't get me wrong, she is gorgeous and sings her heart out here but the boys are there along with Smokie. That was Mike Chapman, the Producer. He wanted to work with agnetha but wanted her to be comfortable and safe on this, her first solo album. The dynamics here are lovely.

Would have been interesting to see what Bjorn & Bennies music would have sounded like in the 80's and beyond with Frida & Agnetha singing.

[@ngcalitile8419]

please dont make me cry. I was thinking the same thing only last week

[@TheSpiritofAbbaPart4]

I don't know about anyone else, but I could never connect together Aggie the soloist with Aggie of the Abba duo, they are both fabulous, pretty, talented...maybe it is the hairstyle change, slight different facial aspect, different personality on stage, different dress, different culture of the mid 1980's... But wait! There it is...!!! At 1:25!!!!! THE FAMOUS AGGIE LIP BITE!!! It really is her, after all!
