The first time I saw his face
I knew I would never be the same.
And the moment he said hello
There was music playing soft and slow.

'Cause he gave me a reason
To sing every song.
But why can't he see it?
Where did I go wrong?

I thought he was everything,
So I gave him my hopes and dreams.
What happened to destiny?
And where is my symphony?

My heart fell to the ground
When it seemed that he had already found
Someone to sing his song
And she sings it real good,
But she'll never sing it
The way that I could.

'Cause he gives me a reason
To speak every word
But why can't he see it?
And hasn't he heard?

I thought he was everything,
So I gave him my hopes and dreams.
What happened to destiny?
And where is my symphony?

There should be strings and bells, and pianos too.
There should be nobody else but me and you.
There could have been laughter and flowers,
But you'll never know,
'Cause you couldn't hear my symphony,
Now where do I go?

I thought you were everything,
So I gave you my hopes and dreams.
What happened to destiny?
And where is my symphony?

The first time I saw his face
I knew I would never be the same.

Behind the Song:
"If each of our lives is like a melody, than when two lives connect it can be a beautiful symphony. But if one hears the music and the other doesn't, it's painful and frustrating." - Francesca Battistelli
