Smokey Robinson

You don't need words to sing along
'Cause this is just a humming song
I tried to write a verse for you
My mind was blank, no words came through

I searched for words to say just how I feel
Whenever you are near
You are the melody in harmony with me

Mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm...
Mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm...
Mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm...
Mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm...

Lost for words, all I feel is a melody, hey
(Oh-oh-oh-oh...)
Lost for words, all I feel is a melody
(Oh-oh-oh-oh...)

I hear a new song everyday
Inspired by the words you say
Your song of love plays on and on
Oh, our love is all in song

There are no words that can't express the joy
You brought into my life
You' re the melody in harmony with me

Mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm...
Mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm...
Mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm...
Mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm...

Mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm...
Mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm...
Mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm...
Mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm...

Arguably the greatest songwriter of the latter half of the 20th century, Robinson’s timeless creations for Motown, both for his own group and for other artists, provided the ultimate example of what a pop song can be. From The Beatles to Bob Dylan, the rest of the 60s followed in his wake

As if that wasn’t enough, he created a whole new genre in the mid-70s with “quiet storm”, a radio format named after one of his songs. He continues writing and performing today.
