Thinking of You
Earth Wind & Fire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Not to say that I'm a matchmaker
But when it comes to you
You met your match

You're inclined to leave me fascinated
By the things you do
My Baby Dance
You can bet your bottom dollar honey
I'll be with you through thick and thin

I would love to give a testimony
'Bout the way you are, you're my best friend

I've been thinking of you
Got me wondering what would I do
Got me thinking I'll be true
Got me wondering I'm thinking of you
You're the one that makes my love light shine
Every time, morning till night

It's your sentimental way you show
The kind of love you give
Makes it allright

What you give is extraordinary
It's a way of life, I like to live

I could be with you forever,
'Cause lovin', gives me a thrill

Girl, I appreciate
The love we generate
You keep me, satisfied
Just the sun, that shines




Deep in this heart of mine
Your love shining through

Maurice has a voice that keeps it "bass" even when he sings the high notes...its naturally stereophonic and incredibly full...all in one voice...it's very distinct...what a joy it must be to record someone like him...

@3912James

When paired with Phillip...he's the LOWER of the high falsettos.

@ColonelOG

I've always enjoyed hearing him from the first time I heard him. He's my all time favorite.

@iniuram8231

@@3912James yes but sometimes on verse, bridge or chorus they both are unison, both falsettos in one

@jaylene.turner6524

He could also sing as high as
Philip.

They would actually do
all of the vocals in the studio,
and teach it to the other members for their live performances.

@msl5253

@@jaylene.turner6524
Yeah, they both supposed to have similar range, though you wouldn't think Phillip could sing as low as Mo, and Mo as high as Phillip.

@YvonE5

Rest in Peace Maurice White. Thank You for your gift of music.

@leithawilliams8006

@stillinloveff

Maurice was on another level. That big voice just fills you up. Can’t describe it any other way.
