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?
'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 it going
keep it 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
'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
Would you care if
I played you the flute?
See it's my favourite 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
'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
