Smokey Robinson

Darlin', tonight was such heavenly bliss
And I have never known a sweeter kiss
But we both know that I was just for fun
'Cause I the kind of a guy who's always on the run

My love is just passing through
My love is just passing through
My love is just passing through
Through your heart

The waters of love are much too deep
Don't wanna make any promises I can't keep
The world outside is calling to me
Your love is good, but I've got to be free

My love is just passing through
Hey, my love is just passing through
Ooh, my love is just passing through
Through your heart

Your gentle lips seem to beg me not to go
But if I hesitate, your tears may show
We both agree to forgive and forget
And there would never be any tears of regret

My love is just passing through
Oh, my love is just passing through
Babe, my love is just passing through your heart

Just passing through
Just passing through
Just passing through your heart
Ooh, yeah

My love is just passing through
Just passing through
My love is just passing through
Just passing through, ooh-ooh...
My love is just passing through
Just passing through

Just passing through
Baby, my love is just passing through
Babe, my love is just passing through
Just passing through...

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.
