[Turn the lights down low, baby come close
Put your hand in mine, oh please be kind

This is such a sweet sweet love song.... any man that says "darling please please stay.....Baby come close....". You must consider it....

And the music so well matched with the words.....

And then Smokey's voice takes you all the way there....

This is the epitome of love and romance....

Not an unkind word.... just riding the waves of love .....

So warm......
