Lyrics: Lea Salonga. I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing. Thank You For The Music.

I'm nothing special
In fact, i'm a bit of a bore
If i tell a joke
You 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 loud

Refrain:
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
So, i say, thank you for the music
For giving it to me

Mother says i was a dancer before i could walk
Uhmmm...she says i began to sing long before i could talk
But, i often wonder how did it all start
To find that there's nothin' can capture a heart
Like a memory can
Well, whoever it was, i'm a fan

(repeat refrain)

I've been so lucky, i am the girl with golden hair
I want to 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 could live without it, i ask in all honesty
What would life be without a song or 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
