Verse 1
I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a boreIf I tell a joke, you've probably heard it beforeBut I have a talent, a wonderful thing'Cause everyone listens when I start to singI'm so grateful and proudAll I want is to sing it out loudChorus
So I say thank you for the music, the songs I'm singingThanks for all the joy they're bringingWho can live without it? I ask in all honestyWhat would life be?Without a song or a dance, what are we?So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to meVerse 2
Mother says I was a dancer before I could walkMhm, she says I began to sing long before I could talkAnd I've often wondered, how did it all start?Who found out that nothing can capture a heartLike a melody can?Well, whoever it was, I'm a fanChorus
So I say thank you for the music, the songs I'm singingThanks for all the joy they're bringingWho can live without it? I ask in all honestyWhat would life be?Without a song or a dance, what are we?So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to meBridge
I've been so luckyI am the girl with golden hairI wanna sing it out to everybodyWhat a joy, what a life, what a chanceChorus
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singingThanks for all the joy they're bringingWho can live without it? I ask in all honestyWhat would life be?Without a song or a dance, what are we?So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to meOutro
