(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)



You've given me a true love

and every day I thank you love

For a feeling that's so new

So inviting, so exciting



Whenever you're near

I hear a symphony

A tender melody

Pulling me closer

Closer to your arms



Then suddenly, I hear a symphony

Ooh, your lips are touching mine

A feeling so divine

'Till I leave the past behind

I'm lost in a world

Made for you and me



Whenever you're near

I hear a symphony

Play sweet and tenderly

Every time your lips meet mine now baby



Baby, baby

You bring much joy within

Don't let this feeling end

Let it go on and on and on

Now baby, baby

Those tears that seem my eyes

I cry not for myself

But for those who never felt the joy we felt



Whenever you're near

I hear a symphony

Each time you speak to me

I hear a tender rap so dy of love now



Baby, baby

As you stand holding me

Whispering how much you care

A thousand violins fill the air



Now baby, baby

Don't let this moment end

Keep standing close to me

Ooh, so close to me, baby, baby

Baby, baby

I hear a symphony

A tender melody
