Hi
Wonder if any of you could help please?
My mum has requested a song she thinks is called 'On the otherside' by Abba at her funeral but we are struggling to find it and wondered if you could shed a light on it or suggest which song it could be please??

Do you have any other information like part of some of the lyrics?

It's a long shot, because neither title nor lyrics match your mum's memory of it, but the most fitting ABBA song for this sad occasion would probably be Like An Angel Passing Through My Room. I've started it from the second verse below:

Perhaps she is mistaken about it being an ABBA song.

I believe the song your mom wanted for her funeral might be "I Have a Dream". I myself told my wife some years back that
I wanted this song for my funeral! I suspect what your mom remembers as " On the other Side" is a mixed-up version of
the lyric " I'll go to the other side of the stream", sorry, I don't remember it correctly but am sure others can present it correctly.
Hope it isn't too late for your moms funeral!

'I'll cross the stream, I have a dream'. It could be this song as it does seem to be one played at a number of funerals judging by YouTube comments.

I find this message much too late... but it is not too late to discover the song.
"The Other Side" is more probably the song by Scissor Sisters...
I think this is THIS particular song.
What will one day
Become of us
We'll grow as grass under their feet
No one here will ever know your name
And you still lie here next to me
If it takes another life
I'll wait for you
On the other side
Everything that comes to me
As good
Belongs to you
I'll count our blessings as I
Wait for you
On the other side
Good luck and I will see you through
Get used to this
You're going to be alright
The world goes on with or without me
If I don't ever leave a thing behind
I'll still leave you without me
If it takes another life
I'll wait for you
On the other side
Everything that comes to me
As good
Belongs to you
I'll count our blessings as I
Wait for you
On the other side
Good luck and I will see you through
