"I Have a Dream" is a song by Swedish pop group ABBA. It was released in December 1979 as the fourth international and final single from the group's sixth studio album, Voulez-Vous. Anni-Frid Lyngstad sang lead vocals. It was a major hit, topping the charts in many countries and peaking at No. 2 in the UK over the Christmas week of 1979. The single was in fact released after the non-album single Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight) and after the release of the compilation Greatest Hits Vol. 2 - which didn't include "I Have a Dream".
Twenty years later, Irish pop group Westlife released a version of "I Have a Dream" that reached No. 1 in the UK over the Christmas week of 1999.
"I Have a Dream" is included on the ABBA Gold: Greatest Hits album as well as in the Mamma Mia! musical.
