"De sista ljuva åren", Swedish: The last sweet years, lyrics and music by Jan Christer Eriksson, is a song that Swedish dansband Lasse Stefanz and Swedish singer Christina Lindberg recorded in a duet. It was originally on Lasse Stefanz' 1988 album Livets ljusa sida. The unrhymed lyrics sentimentally describe the love between an ageing couple: Let the last sweet years be the best in our life.

As a single, "De sista ljuva åren" was originally a B-side, but was tested for Svensktoppen and entered the chart on February 5, 1989, and stayed for 65 rounds until September 23, 1990, which back then was the record.[1] The song never managed to reach the first place. However, "De sista ljuva åren" became a big hit and one of the most famous dansband songs ever. In 2002, when Svensktoppen celebrated its 40th anniversary, it was appointed "Svensktoppen song of all times".[2]

The record was broken by Sven-Ingvars 1991-1993 with the song Två mörka ögon.
