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...
