Thank You for the Music Lyrics by Björn Ulvaeus & Benny Andersson

Mamma Mia!: Original Cast Recording

1999

[HARRY]
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
[HARRY/SOPHIE]
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
[SOPHIE]
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 who ever it was, I'm a fan
[SOPHIE/HARRY]
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
[SOPHIE]
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
[SOPHIE/HARRY/BILL]
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?
[SOPHIE/HARRY/BILL/SAM]
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
So I say thank you for the music
[SOPHIE]
For giving it to me
