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 (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)
