Lyrics Thank You For The Music

Thank You for the Music is a song by the Swedish group ABBA, written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus. It was originally featured on the 1977 album ABBA: The Album. The song reflects the composers love for music and is a thank-you to their fans. The song is often seen as a farewell anthem, though it wasnt written with that purpose in mind. 

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
Ev'ryone 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 dance, what are we? second chorus:(E Am E Am)
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 could capture her heart
 C#m C#m5+
Well whoever it was, I’m a fan

I've been so lucky I am the girl with golden hair
I wanna sing it out to ev'rybody
What a joy, what a life, what a chance

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
