This performance is from the BBC TV special "ABBA in Switzerland", 16 April 1979. It was filmed on Friday 16 February 1979 in Leysin, Switzerland. This was two months before the song was released.

That was the best-quality upload featuring this performance that I could find online. This performance was a mimed one, so I have replaced the audio track with a high-quality, full-length one of the album track. This involved slowing down the footage slightly, as it was running a bit too fast compared to the HQ audio track I am using. I have also reduced the intensity of the colours. I have also added optional subtitles for the lyrics.

This song was written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus. This track was produced by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, and was released on 23 April 1979 as a track on the album "Voulez-Vous". According to Wikipedia, that album went to No. 1 in the UK, Sweden, Norway, Netherlands, Germany, Finland and Japan, No. 2 in Austria and New Zealand, No. 5 in Australia, No. 6 in Canada, No. 13 in France, and No. 19 in the USA. Then on 27 April 1979, this track was released as the B-side of the single "Does Your Mother Know", which, according to Wikipedia, went to No. 1 in Belgium and in Europe, No. 2 in Finland, No. 3 in Ireland and the Netherlands, No. 4 in the UK, No. 6 in Switzerland, No. 7 in Australia, No. 9 in Rhodesia, No. 10 in West Germany, No. 12 in Canada and South Africa, No. 13 in Austria, No. 18 in Japan, No. 19 in the USA, No. 26 in France, and No. 27 in New Zealand.

Presented below and as optional subtitles in my video is my own transcript of the lyrics, for which I have used that official presentation as a guide.

Lyrics:

"Kisses Of Fire"

- ABBA

(Words and Music by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus)

Lay your head on my chest
So you hear every beat of my heart
Now there's nothing at all
That can keep us apart
Touch my lips
Close your eyes and see with your fingertips
Things that you do
And you know I'm crazy 'bout you

Kisses of fire, burning, burning
I'm at the point of no returning
Kisses of fire, sweet devotions
Caught in a landslide of emotions
I've had my share of love affairs and they were nothing compared to this
Oh, I'm riding higher than the sky and there is fire in every kiss
Kisses of fire
Kisses of fire

When you sleep by my side
I feel safe, and I know I belong
Still it's making me scared
That my love is so strong
Losing you
It's a nightmare, babe, and to me, it's new
Never before
Did you see me begging for more

Kisses of fire, burning, burning
I'm at the point of no returning
Kisses of fire, sweet devotions
Caught in a landslide of emotions
I've had my share of love affairs and they were nothing compared to this
Oh, I'm riding higher than the sky and there is fire in every kiss
Kisses of fire
Kisses of fire

Kisses of fire, burning, burning
I'm at the point of no returning
Kisses of fire, sweet devotions
Caught in a landslide of emotions
(Kisses of fire, burning, burning)
(I'm at the point of no returning)
(Kisses of fire, sweet devotions)
I'm riding higher than the sky
And there is fire in every kiss
(Caught in a landslide of emotions)

Kisses of fire, burning, burning
I'm at the point of no returning
Kisses of fire, sweet devotions
Caught in a landslide of emotions
(Kisses of fire, burning, burning)
(I'm at the point of no returning)
