I’m nothing special
in fact I’m a bit of a bore
if I tell a joke
you’ve 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 out loud
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 a 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
she says I began
to sing long before I could talk
and I’ve often wondered
how did it all start
who found out that nothing
can capture a heart
like a melody can
well, whoever it was, I’m a fan
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 a dance what are we
so I say thank you for the music
for giving it to me
I’ve been so lucky
I am the girl with golden hair
I wanna 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 can live without it
I ask in all honesty
what would life be
without a song or a dance what are we
so I say thank you for the music
for giving it to me
