Smokey Robinson

I've made love to you a thousand times
Even if it's only in my mind
I've made love to you a thousand ways
For a thousand nights and a thousand days

It's so real, when I dream about you
I can feel you in the morning
All day long the feeling of my dream
Comes on me without warning
I'm standing there, and suddenly
There you are all over me

I've made love to you a thousand times
Even if it's only in my mind
I've made love to you a thousand ways
For a thousand nights and a thousand days

Let it be, let it really happen
Set me free form loves desire
And if my imagination is any indication
Then of your love I'll never tire
Oh, hold me close, kiss me sweet
And repeat and repeat and repeat

And after I've made love to you a thousand times
And after I've made love to you a thousand ways
I'm gonna gonna keep on with the real thing
For a thousand nights and a thousand days

I've made love to you a thousand times
Even if it's only in my mind
I've made love to you a thousand ways
For a thousand nights and a thousand days

Then I wanna keep on with the real thing
Keep on with the real thing
Keep on keep on keep on with the real thing
For a thousand nights and a thousand days

For a thousand nights and a thousand nights
For a thousand nights and a thousand days

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.
