When Smokey Sings

(Ooh ooh) (Ooh ooh) (Ooh ooh) Ooh-ooh (Ooh ooh)

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 sight 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 and 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 sight And everything's good in the world tonight

When Smokey sings, I hear violins When Smokey sings, I forget everything yeah 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

(Would it be true to say?)

Luther croons Sly's the original originator James screams (uh-uh) Marvin was the only innovator (Innovator) But nothing can compare Nothing can compare When Smokey sings (Sings)

When Smokey sings, I hear violins When Smokey sings, I forget everything As she's packing her things (Ooh ooh) As she's spreading her wings (Ooh ooh) She threw back the ring (Ooh ooh) When Smokey sings Smokey sings (Smokey sings) Smokey sings (Smokey sings)
