I met a girl with an honest smile   I walked with her to the bar   We sat and talked a while   We shared a drink   We put our thoughts on trial   And she tried some thoughts on me      She told me "life�s like a symphony   You got to listen close to hear the harmony".   She said that "no one knows   Just where they�re meant to be".   I don�t think I disagree      You know I learn something new   Every day like you told me to   Allison, I wrote this song for you.      I walked her out and the street was wet   It must have rained while we were locked away from it   And with time I�d grow but never could forget   All the words she chose and how well they fit      She grabbed a taxi, then she grabbed my arm   And how she kissed my cheek, and how her lips were warm   It left a mark on me, it left a hole that burns   It left me waiting where I stand      [chorus]      She got inside and rolled the window down   She said that life�s a ride, she said she�d see me round   I said I tend to hide   She said you�re thinking too much now   And that time would ease my doubts      [chorus]
