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
