Thank You For The Music

(Benny Andersson, Bjorn Ulvaeus, David Foster, Linda Thompson-Jenner) 

  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 
  Mmm, 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
