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 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 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 the 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 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
