Symphony
Jo Stafford with Paul Weston and His Orchestra 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
