* KEPT * MADE * GONE x2 * HEARD * LEFT x2 * RAINED * CUDDLED UP * LIT * READ x3 * YAWNED * OPENED *
I must have 1. __________ my house at eight, because I always do
My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due
I must have 2. __________ the morning paper going into town
And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned
I must have 3. __________ my desk around a quarter after nine
With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
I must have 4. __________ to lunch at half past twelve or so
The usual place, the usual bunch
And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have 5. __________
The day before you came
I must have 6. __________ my seventh cigarette at half past two
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
I must have 7. __________ on dragging through the business of the day
Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me away
At five I must have 8. __________ , there's no exception to the rule
A matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished school
The train back home again
Undoubtedly I must have 9. __________ the evening paper then
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within its usual frame
The day before you came
I must have 10. __________ my front door at eight o'clock or so
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see
I must have 11. __________ to bed around a quarter after ten
I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then
I must have 12. __________ a while
The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style
Its funny, but I had no sense of living without aim
The day before you came
And turning out the light
I must have 13. __________ and 14. __________ for yet another night
And rattling on the roof I must have 15. __________ the sound of rain
The day before you came
By Benny Andersson & Björn Ulvaeus
