Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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?
[Verse 2]
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
[Verse 3]
Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
[Verse 4]
And I've often wondered
How did it all start?
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can?
Well, who ever it was, I'm a fan
[Verse 5]
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?
[Verse 6]
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
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?
[Verse 9]
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
