Lyrics: When Smokey Sings
Album: Alphabet City
Artist: Abc
 

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…
