[Verse 1]
Whoa, oh, oh, yeah
Mmm, hmm, Sylvia
You know you're getting to me now
Mmm, mmm, Sylvia
You gently touched my heart somehow

[Chorus]
Yesterday, you made me happy as a child at play
Just like the summer sun that warms my heart
And move on, now you are gone

[Verse 2]
Whoa, oh, oh, Sylvia
You're everything that I adore
That sweetest song, the kind is sparking me even more, yeah
Tenderly, that's how you whispered that you love me
As if a raindrop kissed my ear and disappeared, now you are gone

[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh, yeah
You know I love my little Sylvia

[Chorus]
Whoa, oh, oh, yeah
And yesterday I fell in love with you all the way
Tenderly, you lit a spark here in my heart, now you are gone

[Outro]
Mmm, hmm, Sylvia
I gently miss Sylvia
I'm crazy about you, Sylvia
You know I love my little Sylvia

Stevie Wonder

Despite losing his sight at a young age, Stevie Wonder went on to become one of the most celebrated soul songwriters of the late 20th century. His songs manage to both innovate and catch the ears of listeners of all dispositions, whilst also being big chart hits.

Incredibly influential amongst musical circles, his voice rendered modern British soul-songwriter James Morrison close to tears the first time he heard it.
