Smokey Robinson

You may dismiss me as unimportant
A guy who's only in the corner of your eye
Right now I know I'm just a?
I'm just an easy friend on whom you can depend

But darling, there will come a day
Oh, when you look at me, my baby, another way
While you're relaxing, I'm gonna happen to you
Oh

Oh baby, oh baby
Ew oh oh baby
Yeah

I only see you in little glimpses
We work together in a world of?
I'm only dreamin' of champagne kisses
You pass right by me, honey

But girl, there will come a day, baby
When you look at me, my baby, another way
While you're relaxing, I'm gonna happen to you
You, you

There will come a great big day, yeah
When you look at me, my baby, another way
There will come day, baby
Look at me, look at me

There will come a time, baby
When I'll be yours, you'll be mine, baby

There will come

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.
