新視野大學英語視聽說教程第二冊 Unit 1 Task 3: Thank You for the Music

I’m nothing special, in fact I’m a bit of a bore

If I tell a joke, you’re 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 honestly

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, the songs I’m singing
