"My Love, My Life", originally "Monsieur, Monsieur", is a song recorded by ABBA for the Arrival album. It was one of the last songs to be recorded for the album.[1] Agnetha Fältskog sings lead vocals and Björn Ulvaeus proclaimed the song to be the finest example of Agnetha's vocal purity.. A complete demo with the original "Monsieur, Monsieur" lyrics was recorded before this, and remains unreleased.
