Verse 1: I still remember when music got into my heart Someone was telling me there's someone singing the way things are I couldn't believe the first moment That music could sound like you do I'm paying my tribute for loving like I do 'Cause knowing you was knowing me Thank you for the joy that you gave Thank you for glimmering night and day Thank you for the songs we sing and play You created history For all the world and for me oh-oh I wanna thank you for the joy you gave Since I remember was always a happy new year No one had ever been singing their music so bright and clear Though we never admitted we loved you The future was telling the truth when dealin' was done all the doubts they were gone and the winner waved so long Chorus: Thank you for the joy that you gave Thank you for glimmering night and day Thank you for the songs we sing and play You created history For all the world and for me oh-oh I wanna thank you for the joy you thank you for the joy you gave Thank you for the joy that you gave Thank you for glimmering night and day Thank you for the songs we sing and play You created history For all the world and for me oh-oh I wanna thank you for the joy you thank you for the joy you thank you for the joy you gave
