When Smokey Sings...

ABC

Debonair lullabies in melodies revealed.


In deep despair on lonely nights.


He knows just how you feel.


The slyest rhymes - the sharpest suits.


In miracles made real.





Like a bird in flight on a hot sweet night.


You know you're right just to hold her tight.


He soothes it right - makes it outtasite.


And everything's good in the world tonight!





When Smokey sings - I hear violins.


When Smokey sings - I forget everything.


As she's packing her things.


As she's spreading her wings.


The front door might slam.


But the back door it rings.


And Smokey sings...he sings.





Elegance in eloquence - for sale or rent or hire.


Should I say - Yes I match his best.


Then I would be a liar.


Symphonies that soothe the rage.


When lovers hearts catch fire.





Like a bird in flight on a hot sweet night.


You know you're right just to hold her tight.


He soothes it right - makes it outtasite.


And everything's good in the world tonight!.





When Smokey sings - I hear violins.


When Smokey sings - I forget everything.


As she's packing her things.


As she's spreading her wings.


Smashing the hell.


With the heaven she brings.


Then Smokey sings...he sings.





Luther croons.


Sly's the original - originator.


James screams.


Marvin was the only innovator.


But nothing can compare.


Nothing can compare.


When Smokey sings.





When Smokey sings - I hear violins.


When Smokey sings - I forget everything.


As she's packing her things.


As she's spreading her wings.


She threw back the ring.
