Quiet Storm Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Soft and warm, a quiet storm
Quiet as when flowers talk at break of dawn
Break of dawn
A power source of tender force
Generating, radiating, turn me on
Turn them on

[Pre-Chorus]
Ah, you short-circuit all my nerves
Promising electric things
You touch me and
Suddenly there's rainbow rings

[Chorus]
Quiet storm
Blowin' through my life
Oh, quiet storm
Blowin' through my life
Oh, blow, baby

[Verse 2]
Oh, windy sigh, weaken my
Butterfly caught up in a hurricane (Hurricane)
Hurricane (Hurricane)
Lucky me, umbrella-free
Suddenly I'm caught up in your somber rain (Rain)
Oh, oh

See Smokey Robinson Live

Get tickets as low as $98

[Pre-Chorus]
Shower me with your sweet love
I will bathe in every drop
Through all the seasons
Let it pour and never stop

[Chorus]
Quiet storm
Blowin' through my life, through my life
You're just like a quiet storm
Blowin' through my life
Through my life, through my life
Through my life

[Post-Chorus]
Through my life
Blowin', blowin', blowin', blowin'
Ah, through my life
Ooo-ooh

[Pre-Chorus]
Hail soft storms of love on me
Let them play on my desires
Kiss me softly
Let your lightnin' light my fire

[Chorus]
Quiet storm
Blowin' through my life, through my life
You're just like a quiet storm
(Blowin') Blowin', blowin' (Through my life) Through my life, through my life

(Quiet storm
Blowin' through my life)
Quiet storm
(Blowin') Oh yeah (Through my life)

[Pre-Chorus]
Shower me with your sweet love
I will bathe in every drop
Through all the seasons
Let it pour and never stop

[Chorus]
Quiet storm
Blowin' through my life, through my life
You're just like a quiet storm
(Blowin') Warm and tender (Through my life) Oh, through my life

Quiet storm
You're blowing through my life, through my life
Through my life
(Quiet storm
Blowing through my life)

[Outro]
Blow, baby
Blow, baby
Blow, baby
Blow, baby
Ahh, quiet storm
Yeah, quiet storm
Blow, baby
Blow, baby
Blow, baby

What did Smokey Robinson say about the length of this song?

Genius Answer

There was a time when you had to try to cram whatever you wanted to say musically into two minutes and 40 seconds at the outside. Now you can have a song seven-minutes-and-40-seconds long. That’s freedom, when you can just say it until you get tired.

— To Rolling Stone, June 1975
