In deep despair on lonely nights

In miracles made real

When Smokey sings, I hear violins

When Smokey sings, I forget everything

As she's packing her things

The front door might slam

But the back door it rings
C# Cb F# C# Cb F#
And Smokey sings, he sings
C# Cb
Elegance in eloquence
Cbsus2 C#
For sale or rent or hire
C# Cb
Should I say yes and match his best

Symphonies that soothe the rage

When lovers' hearts catch fire
