124 - THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC
Verse 1
I’m no-thing spe-cial, in fact I’m a bit of a bore,
if I tell a joke you’ve pro-ba-bly heard it be-fore.
But I have a ta-lent, a won-der-ful thing,
’cause ev-ery-one lis-tens when I start to sing
I’m so grate-ful and proud,
all I want is to sing it out loud.
So I say –
Chorus
(All) Thank-you for the mu-sic,
the songs I’m sing-ing,
thanks for all the joy they’re bring-ing.
Who can live with-out it?
I ask in all ho-ne-sty – what would life be
with-out a song or a dance, what are we?
So I say thank-you for the mu-sic,
for giv-ing it to me.
Verse 2
Moth-er says I was a dan-cer be-fore I could walk,
she says I be-gan to sing long be-fore I could talk.
And I’ve of-ten won-dered, how did it all start,
who found out that no-thing can cap-ture the heart
like a mel-o-dy can?
Well who-ev-er it was - I’m a fan.
So I say –
Chorus
(All) Thank-you for the mu-sic,
the songs I’m sing-ing,
thanks for all the joy they’re bring-ing.
Who can live with-out it?
I ask in all ho-ne-sty – what would life be
with-out a song or a dance, what are we?
So I say thank-you for the mu-sic,
for giv-ing it to me.
Middle section
I’ve been so luck-y
I am the girl with gol-den hair,
I wan-na sing it out to ev-ery-bo-dy,
what a joy, what a life, what a chance ---
