verse
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
pre-chorus
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? Hmm
chorus
'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
verse
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
pre-chorus
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
chorus
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
bridge
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, ha
chorus
Life is just one big symphony
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
