«My Love, My Life» (первоначально: «Monsieur, Monsieur»[1]) — песня шведской группы ABBA с их четвёртого альбома Arrival. Ведущий вокал принадлежит Агнете Фельтског. По мнению официального биографа группы Карла Магнуса Пальма, песня является одной из тех композиций, которые, будучи исполняемыми от лица «брошенной женщины», не могут не вызывать слёз[3].
