I was listening to ABBA the other day and "Thank you for the Music" was the song that leaped at me. It struck me immediately that if there was a song I can dedicate to Sally, it would be the one below. I changed a bit of the lyrics so as to customise the meaning for the current situation. But I hope you can still sing to the tune of the song.
The recent Genting concert brought back a lot of memories, some sweet and some rather challenging. But I am glad that Sally is apart of them and her music fills up every corner of my life. I realised that the music is not merely notations on paper transribed to sound but they are real; I could almost touch them with my hands.
Sally, this may not be truly original, but whatever creativity that has been put into it, I give them to you.
I was not a smart kid, in fact I don't even smile
If I try to speak, it is not even worthwhile
But I heard you sing, you opened my heart
The sadness and fear seems to fall apart
Nothing makes me frown
Cos you're the gold of my crown.
Chorus:
So, I say thank you for the music
The songs you're singing
Thanks to all the joy you're bringing
Who could leave without YOU
I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without Sally and songs what are we?
So, I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me.
Mother was angry cos Sally is the theme of my talk
She said study now or she'd bring out the lock
But someone I love, helps me to fly
Sally takes me high up to the sky
Like a melody can
Well, I'm so proud, to be your fan!
Chorus
I am so lucky, you give so much of love and care
I want to sing it out to everybody
What a joy, what a life, what a chance!
Chorus
