[Smokey Robinson]
You find someone and fall in love
You learn to love them as much as life
And then one day, somebody steals their heart away
Oh, such is love, such is life
Oh, such is love, such is life

You find someone that you love so much
That to your heart their touch is life
But one day you find that they gone and left you behind
Oh, such is love, such is life
Oh, such is love, such is life

Oh, love, love, love, love, love is strange
And it’s so hard to find someone who really cares
And life, oh well now, life is strange
And it’s sometimes so hard to bear, yeah

You find someone who loves you so
That to their heart your touch is life
But you love another who loves some other
Oh, such is love, such is life
Oh, such is love, such is life

The Miracles

The Miracles (also known as Smokey Robinson and the Miracles from 1965 to 1972) were an American rhythm and blues vocal group.

They were formed at school in Detroit in 1955 as The Five Chimes. In 1956 they changed their name to The Matadors, adding Claudette Rogers to the line-up. They were spotted by Berry Gordy at an audition in late 1957 and in February 1958 changed their name to The Miracles. Their first release, ‘Get A Job’ b/w ‘My Mama Done Told Me’, was issued via the End label that same month. Another single on End followed, and then one on Chess and Motown, before the group finally found a home on Tamla where they had a string of hits and Smokey established himself as a key songwriter for the label throughout the 1960s.

In late 1965 Berry Gordy decided to adjust the group’s name and they were billed thereafter as Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, until Smokey left the group in July 1972 (although the final Smokey Robinson & The Miracles single was not released until November). He was replaced by Billy Griffin, with the name being reverted back to The Miracles for the new line-up.
