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
