I Hear a Symphony
Harmony of Love: Hank Crawford's Symphony of Joy and Romance
Lyrics
You've given me a true love and ev'ry day I thank you love,
You've given me genuine love, and every day I express gratitude for it.
For a feeling that's so new, so inviting, so exciting.
Expressing appreciation for a new, inviting, and exciting feeling.
Whenever you are near, I Hear A Symphony,
Feeling a symphony whenever the loved one is close.
A tender melody pulling me closer, closer to your arms.
A soft melody draws the speaker closer to the arms of the loved one.
Then suddenly, oo, your lips are touching mine.
Lips touching create a divine feeling, helping to leave the past behind.
A feeling so divine 'til I leave the past behind.
Being immersed in a world tailor-made for the couple.
I'm lost in a world made for you and me.
Expressing a desire for love.
Oo love me.
A plea for love.
Whenever you are near I Hear A Symphony play sweet and tenderly
Experiencing a symphony when the loved one is near, sweet and tender.
Ev'ry time your lips meet mine my baby.
Each time the lips meet, a symphony plays.
Baby, baby, I feel a joy within,
Feeling internal joy and a plea to sustain it.
Don't let this feeling end,
An appeal to continue the positive emotions.
Let it go on and on and on now baby.
Desiring the joy to persist endlessly.
Baby, baby, those tears that fill my eyes,
Tears are shed not for oneself but for those who haven't experienced the same joy.
I care not for myself but for those
Expressing concern for others who haven't felt the shared joy.
Who've never felt the joy we've felt.
Reflecting on the joy experienced in the presence of the loved one.
Whenever you are near,
(Repetition of line 3)
I Hear A Symphony each time you speak to me
Hearing a symphony each time the loved one speaks.
I hear a tender rhapsody of love, love.
Hearing a tender rhapsody of love.
Baby, baby, as you stand up holding me
Feeling the symphony as the loved one holds and expresses care.
Whispering how much you care,
Whispering words of care.
A thousand violins fill the air now.
A metaphorical atmosphere filled with love represented by a thousand violins.
Baby, baby, don't let this moment end,
An appeal not to let the precious moment end.
Keep standing close to me,
Encouraging to stay close.
Oo so close to me, baby, baby.
Repeating the desire for closeness.
Baby, baby, I Hear A Symphony, a tender melody.
Hearing a symphony, emphasizing the tender melody.
Ah it goes on and on and on and on and
Repetition emphasizing the continuous nature of the symphony.
on and on and on and on and
Continuation of the emphasis on the ongoing symphony.
on and on and on and on and
Repeating the idea of the symphony persisting.
