Like Carlos Santana brings magic
From the strings, creates the groove
You float across the dance floor
Flowing effortlessly, like fine silk
You’re so smooth
**
Like Rob Thomas sings the words
“I would give my world, to lift you up”
Like a Matchbox or Twenty
Lights my desire
You’re just so smooth
**
Your eyes, they sparkle, like an angels caress
Pulling me softly
Like the sweetest of taffy
Towards the abyss
It feels so smooth
**
On the dance floor, I join you
We know, we’ve just begun
While the rhythm of his guitar
Reaches deep, makes us one
Like “Black Magic Woman”
It’s all so smooth
**
Many years have passed
Since we began
Many times we have danced
To your magic hands
Carlos, we thank you
For you are
So Smooth

Love this… “She’s Not There” is a favourite of mine, but Smooth certainly is up there.

I really liked the taffy part Gerald - a great simile. I use to like Matchbox twenty a lot so remember this song with Santana very well. Great poem! 😊👍
