Like a bird in flight on a hot sweet night
When smokey sings, I forget everything, yeah
When smokey sings, I hear violins, yeah
Like a bird in flight on a hot sweet night
The front door might slam
He soothes it right, makes it outtasite
You know you're right just to hold her tight
As she's spreading her wings
When smokey sings
When smokey sings, I hear violins
He soothes it right, makes it outtasite
When smokey sings, I hear violins, yeah
Sly's the original, originator
She threw back the ring
As she's packing her things
Then I would be a liar
Symphonies that soothe the rage
When smokey sings
Who you been true to say
And smokey sings, yeah he sings
As she's spreading her wings
Should I say yes, I match his best
The slyest rhymes, the sharpest suits
And every thing's good in the world tonight
When smokey sings, I forget everything, yeah
As she's spreading her wings
But nothing can compare, nothing can compare
As she's packing her things
Smokey sings
When smokey sings, I forget everything, yeah
When lovers hearts catch fire
Elegance in eloquence for sale or rent or hire
James screams
You know you're right just to hold her tight
With the heaven she brings
Then smokey sings, well he sings
Smashing the hell
And every thing's good in the world tonight
Marvin was the only innovator
As she's packing her things
But the back door it rings
In miracles made real
He knows just how you feel
