SMOKEY,
SMOKEY, OO-OO-OO.
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 WANNA FIND THE TIME AND STOP TO SAY,
I WANNA THANK YOU, LORD, FOR GIVING US EACH NEW DAY.
OO-OO-OO.
THINKING BACK OVER SO MANY YEARS,
LOVE THAT'S FILLED MY EARS.
I WANNA THANK YOU, LORD, FOR GIVING US PURE SMOKEY,
OO-OO-OO.
AND ANYONE WHO HEARS THAT VOICE SO FREE,
HE REALLY GOT A HOLD ON ME.
AND I THANK YOU ALL FOR GIVING US PURE SMOKEY,
PURE SMOKEY, OO-OO-OO,
SMOKEY, PURE SMOKEY, OO-OO-OO.
THANK YOU, LORD.
HE'S SINGING IT SO SWEETLY, LIKE NO ONE ELSE COULD DO,
ALWAYS TRYING SOMETHING NEW.
AND I THANK YOU, LORD, FOR GIVING US PURE SMOKEY.
(THANK YOU, LORD)
AND ANYONE WHO HEARS, HEARS THAT VOICE SO FREE,
HE REALLY GOT A HOLD ON ME.
AND I THANK YOU, LORD, FOR GIVING US PURE SMOKEY,
SMOKEY, OO-OO-OO.
THANK YOU, LORD.
