Turn the lights down low
Baby, come close
Put your hand in mine
Oh, please be kind
Let me touch your heart
Let the fire start
Ooh, so warm, so warm

Yeah, let the soft music play
Please sit down and stay
Put your trust in me (Put your trust in me)
Let this love be
This is for real
Let time stand still
Ooh, so warm, so warm
So warm

Turn the lights down low
Baby, come close

Ooh, so warm, so warm
So warm, so warm
So warm

Ooh, turn the lights down low
Baby, come close
Let dreams come true
For me and you
We won't regret
We won't forget
Ooh, so warm, so warm, yeah, yeah
So warm, so warm
So warm

Turn the lights down low
Baby, come close

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.
