Thank You for the Music (1977)




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 singin'.
Thanks for all the joy, they're bringin'.
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 givin' it to me.

Mother says, I was a dancer, before I could walk.
Hm, 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...

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...

So I say, thank you for the music,
For givin' it to me.
