"Sparvöga" is a 1989 single by Swedish artist Marie Fredriksson, known internationally from the duo Roxette. The single was not originally part of an album, but was written for the TV-series "Sparvöga", which in turn was based on Ann-Charlotte Alverfors's book by the same name.cite web|url=http://mariefredriksson.net/about/|title=Biography|publisher=mariefredriksson.net|accessdate=2008-08-01] The single was released in March of 1989, and the next month peaked at number six on the Swedish charts.
