|
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 out of site |
|
And every thing'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 out of site |
|
And every thing'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 |
|
But if we gotta say |
|
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 |
|
When Smokey sings |
|
Smokey sings, smokey sings |
