When Smokey Sings

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] (Would it be true to say) Luther croons Sly's the original originator James screams Marvin was the only innovator But nothing can compare Nothing can compare When Smokey sings [Chorus] 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 [Outro] Smokey sings Smokey sings
