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, ah?
'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, ha
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
