ABC – When Smokey Sings
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
When Smokey sings…
Smokey sings…
Smokey sings…
