(Temptations Style)
[Intro – Spoken Lead + Falsetto + Bass]
(Spoken Lead – soft, emotional)
Yeah… oh baby…
I was lost… in a wasteland of broken dreams…
(Falsetto)
Ooooh…
(Bass)
Doo-doo… doo-doo…
(Group)
Shoo-wop… shoo-wop…
[Verse 1 – Lead + Call/Response]
(Lead)
The sun coming down on me… (down on me…)
On a different corner, girl, I could see… (I could see…)
Like a careless whisper in the night… (whisper…)
You came along and made it right…
(Group – tight harmony)
Ooooh… little darling…
(Lead)
I still haven’t found what I’m looking for…
Till your love came knockin’ on my door…
[Pre-Chorus – Build with harmonies]
(Falsetto)
True colors shining in your eyes…
(Baritone + Tenor)
Hometown glory, no disguise…
(Group swelling)
Just like heaven when you’re near…
Baby, you made it all so clear…
[Chorus – Full Motown Groove]
Heaven must be missing an angel tonight,
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop…)
‘Cause you came down and made everything right…
(In this world…)
In this wasteland, you’re my light…
(Baby, baby…)
I’m gonna love you for a lifetime…
(Group hits)
Everybody hurts…
(everybody hurts…)
But not tonight…
[Verse 2 – Lead + Group Punches]
(Lead)
I was just a fool, drifting alone
(Group)
Only a fool
(Lead)
Ashes to ashes, heart turned to stone…
(Group – rhythmic)
Stone… stone
(Lead)
Then I felt it in the air tonight…
Your love hit me like a guiding light…
(Bass)
Doo-doo…
[Bridge – Emotional Breakdown (Temptations drama)]
(Falsetto lead)
California dreaming… in your arms tonight…
(Group – soft pads)
Ooooh…
(Baritone)
Summer in the city, but you cool me down…
(Lead – rising emotion)
I was a beast of burden, worn and torn…
Till your sweet love made me reborn…
(Group – powerful)
Caravan of love… take my hand…
Salvation, baby… understand…
[Break – Spoken (Temptations-style storytelling)]
(Spoken Lead)
Girl… I been searching my whole life…
Through every lonely street… every broken dream…
And then you came along…
(Falsetto)
Ooooh yeah…
[Final Chorus – Big, layered, dynamic]
Heaven must be missing an angel tonight,
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop…)
You came down and made everything right…
(In my life…)
In a lifetime, you’re the one…
(Baby…)
You’re my moon, you’re my sun…
(Group – call/response)
Everybody hurts… (everybody hurts…)
But not tonight… (not tonight…)
[Outro – Classic Fade with riffs]
(Falsetto ad-libs)
Ooooh baby… don’t you go…
(Lead)
Little darling, I need you so…
(Group)
Heaven must be missing you…
(Bass fading)
Doo… doo… doo…
(Group fade)
Shoo-wop… shoo-wop…
