This day in music history.

June 18, 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte was defeated at Waterloo in Belgium. Napoleon faced two armies, one army led by the Duke of Wellington, who commanded a combined force of Belgian, Dutch, and British troops. The other army led by Field Marshal Gebhard von Blucher, who commanded a Prussian force. Almost 50,000 men were killed or severely injured. The Battle lasted only one day.
Waterloo by Abba
My my, at waterloo Napoleon did surrender
Oh yeah, and I have met my destiny in quite a similar way
The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself
Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - finally facing my waterloo
My my, I tried to hold you back but you were stronger
Oh yeah, and now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight
And how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose
Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - knowing my fate is to be with you
And how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose
Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - finally facing my waterloo
