Symphony
Jerry Vale Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Symphony, symphony of love
Music from above, how does it start?
You walk in and the song begins
Singing violins start in my heart

Then you speak
The melody seems to rise
Then you sigh
It sighs and it softly dies
Symphony sing to me

Then we kiss and it's clear to me
When you're near to me
You are my symphony




My symphony
My symphony

Overall Meaning

The song Symphony by Jerry Vale is a beautiful description of the feeling of love. The song starts with the lines, "Symphony, symphony of love, Music from above, how does it start?" which immediately gives the connotation of orchestrated music, the kind which is composed with the ultimate perfection by a skilled conductor. This is then further emphasized by the verse, "You walk in and the song begins, Singing violins start in my heart". This conveys that the mere presence of the person he loves creates music within him.


The next lines, "Then you speak, The melody seems to rise, Then you sigh, It sighs and it softly dies" indicate that the person loved is the very source of this music. Her every word, her every sigh and her mere presence creates and controls the symphony. When they kiss, the music becomes clear as crystal, and the reader understands that her presence is not only creating the music but is also that which makes it beautiful. The final verse clarifies this, as the singer exclaims, "When you're near to me, You are my symphony, My symphony, My symphony". This conveys that the person loved is the very composer of the symphony, and everything around the singer is but a reflection of the love she weaves.
