Thank You for the Music Songtext

von Lea Salonga

(b. andersson/b. ulvaeus)

I'm nothing special
In fact, I'm a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke
You probably heard it before

But I have a talent
A wonderful thing
'cause everyone listens
When I start to sing
I'm so grateful and proud

All I want is to sing it loud

[Refrain]
So, I say, thank you for the music
The songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be without a song or dance
What are we
So, I say, thank you for the music
For giving it to me

Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
Uhmmm... she says I began to sing long before I could talk
But, I often wonder how did it all start
To find that there's nothin' can capture a heart
Like a memory can
Well, whoever it was, I'm a fan

(repeat refrain)

I've been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair
I want to sing it out to everybody
What a joy, what a life, what a chance

Thank you for the music
The songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who could live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be without a song or dance
What are we
So, I say, thank you for the music
For giving it to me

So, I say, thank you for the music
For giving it to me
