Debonair lullabies in melodies revealed

in deep despair on lonely night 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 outta 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

then Smokey sings he sings

 

Elegance and eloquence for sale or rent or hire

should I say yes I match his best then I would be a liear

symphonies 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 outta sight

and everything's good in the world tonight

 

When Smokey sings I hear violins

when Smokey sings I forget everything yea

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 creams 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
