I Hear a Symphony
Harmony of Love: The Jackson 5's Symphony of Joy
Lyrics
You're givin' me a true love
You are providing me with genuine love
And every day I thank you, Lord
Expressing gratitude to the Lord every day for the new and special feeling of love
For a feeling that's so new
Describing the love as inviting and exciting
So inviting so exciting
Whenever you're near, I hear a symphony
Feeling a symphony whenever the person is near
A tender melody pulling me closer, closer to your arms
Describing the symphony as a tender melody that draws the speaker closer to the person
Then suddenly your lips are touching mine
Experiencing a moment where the lips of the speaker and the person touch
A feeling so divine, still I leave the past behind
Feeling a divine sensation and leaving the past behind
I'm lost in a world made for you and me
Feeling lost in a world tailored for both the speaker and the person
Ooh, baby, baby
Expressing affection with "baby, baby"
I hear a symphony, ooh
Hearing a symphony, emphasizing the intensity of the emotional experience
Baby, baby
Repeating the affectionate term "baby, baby"
Whenever you're near, I hear a symphony
Hearing a symphony when the person is nearby, played sweetly and tenderly
Played sweet and tenderly
Describing the symphony as sweet and tender
Every time your lips meet mine, my baby
Linking the meeting of lips to a symphonic experience
Baby, baby
Repeating the affectionate term "baby, baby"
I feel the joy begin
Feeling joy and expressing the desire for it to continue
Don't let this feeling end
Encouraging the continuation of the joyful feeling
Let it go on and on and on now, baby
Expressing the wish for the joyful feeling to persist
Baby, baby
Repeating the affectionate term "baby, baby"
Those tears that filled my eyes
Referring to tears and expressing that they were shed not for oneself but for others who haven't experienced the joy of love
I cried not for myself
Expressing selflessness in shedding tears
But for those who have never felt the joy we felt
Sharing the reason for shedding tears, empathy for those who haven't felt the described joy
Baby, baby
Repeating the affectionate term "baby, baby"
Whenever you're near, I hear a symphony
Feeling a symphony whenever the person is near
Each time you speak of me
Hearing a tender note when the person speaks about the speaker
I hear a tender note so sweet of love
Describing the note as sweet and loving
Baby, baby
Repeating the affectionate term "baby, baby"
As you stand there holding me
Feeling a symphony as the person holds the speaker
Whispering how much you care
Hearing sweet words expressing care
A thousand violins fill the air, now
Imagining a thousand violins filling the air during this intimate moment
Baby, baby
Repeating the affectionate term "baby, baby"
Don't let this moment end
Expressing the desire for the moment to continue
Keep standing close to me
Inviting the person to stay close
So close to me, my baby, baby, baby
Repeating the affectionate term "baby, baby, baby"
Baby, baby
Repeating the affectionate term "baby, baby"
I hear a symphony
Hearing a symphony, emphasizing the continued intensity of the emotional experience
A tender melody
Describing the symphony as a tender melody
I hear a symphony
Repeating the statement of hearing a symphony
