pure smokey

throughout my lifetimes i'd hesitate

i'd feel some joy

but before i'd show my thanks it became too late

but now all the way i want to find the time

stop and say

i thank you lord for giving us each new day

and as i think back over so many years

love that's filled my ears

i got to thank you lord for giving us pure smokey

and anyone who hears - hears that voice so free

he really got a hold on me

and i thank you all for giving to us smokey - smokey

singing it so sweetly

like no one else could do

always trying something new

i thank you all for giving us pure smokey
