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 (*)
