Vast improvement over the previous album's Smokey tribute. Notice that the "You Really Got A Hold On Me" line (which was, of course, the Smokey Robinson song covered by the Beatles in their "With the Beatles" LP) is found once again in George's "When We Was Fab". Smokey obviously had a very strong hold over George Harrison! | Bruce Beatlefan | April 17, 2006 |
Lyrics
Throughout my lifetimes I'd hesitate
I'd feel some joy
But before I'd show my thanks it became too late
But now all the way I want to find the time
Stop and say
I thank you Lord for giving us each new day
And as I think back over so many years
Love that's filled my ears
I got to thank you Lord for giving us Pure Smokey
And anyone who hears - hears that voice so free
He really got a hold on me
And I thank you all for giving to us Smokey - Smokey
Singing it so sweetly
Like no one else could do
Always trying something new
I thank you all for giving us Pure Smokey
I'd feel some joy
But before I'd show my thanks it became too late
But now all the way I want to find the time
Stop and say
I thank you Lord for giving us each new day
And as I think back over so many years
Love that's filled my ears
I got to thank you Lord for giving us Pure Smokey
And anyone who hears - hears that voice so free
He really got a hold on me
And I thank you all for giving to us Smokey - Smokey
Singing it so sweetly
Like no one else could do
Always trying something new
I thank you all for giving us Pure Smokey
