Music videos tell important stories, and ABBA’s Take a Chance on Me video is no exception. They tell the story of two women with degenerative eye disorders.

If you need her, let her know, she’s going to be around, though she may not see you when you come in. Get to her good side.

Honey, she’s still free of all of the mucus, twitching, and pain that she experiences as the day goes on and her eye gets worse.

Gonna do her very best, which will be about 3/4’s what everyone else can do, sight-wise.

We can go dancing, we can go walking, but she will probably benefit from some prescription transition lens.

If you put her to the test, if you let her try, she probably won’t be able to read the second line down, it’s a bit too blurry and she’s trying hard.

Take a chance on her though, because regardless of her debilitating illness, that’s all she asks of you honey.
