Carpenters - Thank You For The Music lyrics

(from "the tonight show, 1978") 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 Repeat (*) 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! Repeat (*)
