English text by Jack Lawrence
Symphony, symphony of love
Music from above, how does it start?
You walk in and the song begins
Singing violins start in my heart
Then you speak
The melody seems to rise
Then you sigh
It sighs and it softly dies
Symphony sing to me
Then we kiss and it's clear to me
When you're near to me
You are my symphony
My symphony
My symphony
"Symphony" (original "Symphonie") is a French song written by Alex Alstone (music), André Tabet and Roger Bernstein (words). The melody dates from 1942 but the first release of the song with lyrics dates from 1945 by Jacques Pills. Marlene Dietrich had a hit with the song later in 1945 and Petula recorded her version in 1962. It is also known the jazz version (Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman etc.) with the English text written by Jack Lawrence.
