Abba thank you for the music lyrics

ABBA Lyrics

"Thank You For The Music"

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
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

Thanks to Sophie for correcting these lyrics.

Initially this song was a part of a mini-musical "The Girl with the Golden Hair" that was performed by ABBA during their European and Australian tour shows in 1977. All four songs of that musical were "Thank You For The Music", "I Wonder (Departure)", "I'm a Marionette" and "Get On the Carousel". The last one was never released.

There is a completely different version of this song called "Thank You for the Music (Doris Day/Early Version)" which was first released on the box set of four CDs "Thank You for the Music" (1994).

E-Rotic (a German eurodance band) made a cover of this song for their album "Thank You for the Music" (1997) which was an ABBA tribute album.

This song is included in the soundtrack of the film "Mamma Mia!" as a hidden track sung by Amanda Seyfried.
