Sweet Harmony
Smokey Robinson and The Miracles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With whom I had the pleasure of living over half the years I've lived,
'til now, when we come to our fork in the road.
And though our feet may travel a different path from now on,
I want them to know how I feel about them, and that I wish them well.
Sweet harmony,
Stay in perfect tune,
With your own familiar song.
Make the world aware,
That you're still goin' strong.
Go on,
Spread your joy around the world.
Spread your joy around the world.
Sweet harmony,
Yeah, yeah.
Go on and blow on.
I believe in miracles,
If you can dream it,
It can be done.
And though a task was made for two,
It can be done well by one.
Go on,
Spread your joy around the world.
Spread your joy around the world.
Ew
Sweet harmony,
Spread your joy around the world.
Ew
Sweet harmony,
Go on,
Spread your joy around the world.
Sweet harmony,
Ew
Sweet harmony,
Go on and go.
You were the prelude for the song,
The village minstrels play.
Though most of them have come and gone,
You're still around today,
Go on,
Spread your joy around the world.
Harmony, huh!
Spread your joy around the world.
Keep on!
Sweet harmony,
Ew,
To every heart and soul,
You know the joy you bring,
When you do your thing.
Sweet harmony,
Yeah!
Don't stop now,
No
Sweet harmony,
I believe
Spread your joy around the world.

This song was a beautiful dedication to the Miracles. One of Smokey's best. He has so many beautiful love songs even now the Smokester's still jamming. God keep blessing you Love Poet.

Smokey is a perfect example of an artist who sang their soul as much as their voice. Others for me include Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, James Brown, Billy Holliday and Amy Winehouse. Yes, I said Amy Winehouse. Check her out, people.

This song takes me back to my early teenage years. I would listen to this song and the emotions would fill my heart. I felt the love. Not to mention the ending of one of my favorite groups. Smokey Robinson and the Miracles
Stephen Marcus
Beautiful tune for the Miracles. They were wonderful together. Smokey returned after a short spell in the Motown office and has had a terrific career solo to this day. We are blessed, truly, for having Smokey. This comment was written for Sweet Harmony.
