Symphony

Ever since I was young (coming up, coming up) Always marching to a drum (bra-da-dum, bra-da-dum) Always focused on me (one-one, one-one) Now I wish that I could hold (someone, someone) So tell my mom I love her, call my baby sister Should've hugged and kissed her 'cause life is just a mystery And it's gone before you know it So if you love me, won't you show it, uh? 'Cause this life is one big symphony This night is one for you and me I'm the strings and you're the timpani You're my constant tambourine This life is one big symphony So glad I've got you next to me I'm the chords and you're the melody This life's one big symphony She was the piano, I'm the xylophone You can have the trumpet, I'm the saxophone Life is skipping rope (keep going, keep going) Finding solace in a note (dote-dote, dote-dote) Had to struggle when I was broke (so low, so low) Writing music just to cope (no hope, no hope) Yeah, life is just perspective, laughing when you've wrecked it Smiling when you kept it together, you weathered the storm At the end of the play, you sang all the way Doesn't matter how off-key if you did it your way This life is one big symphony This night is one for you and me I'm the strings and you're the timpani You're my constant tambourine This life is one big symphony So glad I've got you next to me I'm the chords and you're the melody This life's one big symphony Would you care if I played you the flute? See, it's my favorite one because it's so delicate and beautiful I pull out the trombone if it's more suitable Wanna make you smile, it's been a little while Since I've seen the white of your teeth Been a hard year, lucky the guitar's here Life is just one big symphony 'Cause this life is one big symphony This night is one for you and me I'm the strings and you're the timpani You're my constant tambourine (life is just one big symphony) This life is one big symphony So glad I've got you next to me I'm the chords and you're the melody This life's one big symphony
