ABBA - Thank You for the Music

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.

So I say thank you for the music,

for giving it to me.
