Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And every day I thank you, Lord
For a feeling that's so new
So inviting so exciting
Whenever you're near, I hear a symphony
A tender melody pulling me closer, closer to your arms
Then suddenly your lips are touching mine
I'm lost in a world made for you and me
Ooh, baby, baby
I hear a symphony, ooh
Baby, baby
Whenever you're near, I hear a symphony
Played sweet and tenderly
Every time your lips meet mine, my baby
Baby, baby
I feel the joy begin
Don't let this feeling end
Let it go on and on and on now, baby
Baby, baby
Those tears that filled my eyes
I cried not for myself
But for those who have never felt the joy we felt
Baby, baby
Whenever you're near, I hear a symphony
Each time you speak of me
I hear a tender note so sweet of love
Baby, baby
As you stand there holding me
Whispering how much you care
A thousand violins fill the air, now
Baby, baby
Don't let this moment end
Keep standing close to me
So close to me, my baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby
I hear a symphony
A tender melody
I hear a symphony
