Carpenters Lyrics

"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 (*)
