Thank You For The Music Lyrics

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!

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

this is Agnetha singing about her musical career and how she has always sung, its part of the 3 part mini musical the girl with the golden hair.

Yeah, how and what life would be without music...it is our life, that's why we are all here.

Life could have been really plain and naive.

I love this song so much; it's my favourite ABBA song. It's not just the fantastically cheerful, catchy tune or the elaborate piano part, although they certainly don't hurt. It just sums up so completely and perfectly how I feel about music. Especially the chorus. It's like it was written for me; it's probably like that for lots of people who love their music. It always makes me happy.

Okay. So is anybody else a little concerned that two blokes get their ex-wives to sing this back at them?:

"So I say thank you for the music For giving it to me"

I mean, good song and everything - my Mum's favourite (personally, I'm an SOS man myself) - but still, hmm...
