"Thank You for the Music" is a song by Swedish pop group ABBA, released in 1977. It was featured on their fifth studio album, ABBA: The Album. It was written by Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson.
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
So I say thank you for the music,
For giving it to me
