Jumpin' At Capitol lyrics - Nat King Cole

(Instrumental)

Straighten Up And Fly Right lyrics - Nat King Cole

A buzzard took a monkey for a ride in the air,

The monkey thought that everything

was on the square.

The buzzard tried to throw the monkey

off his back,

The monkey grabbed his neck and said,

"Now listen, Jack..."

Straighten up and fly right,

Straighten up and stay right

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.

Ain't no use in divin',

What's the use in jivin'?

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.

The buzzard told the monkey,

You are chokin' me.

Release your hold and I'll set you free.

The monkey looked the buzzard right

dead in the eye and said,

Your story's so touching, but it sounds

just like a lie.

Straighten up and fly right

Straighten up and stay right

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.

Straighten up and fly right

Straighten up and stay right

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.

Ain't no use in divin'

Ain't no good in jivin'

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down, papa, don't you blow - your - top.

Fly right!

Gee Baby, Ain't I Good To You lyrics - Nat King Cole

Love makes me treat you the way that I do,

Gee baby, ain't I good to you?

There's nothing in this world too good

For a girl so good and true.

Gee baby, ain't I good to you?

Bought you a fur coat for Christmas,

A diamond ring,

A big Cadillac car, and everything.

What makes me treat you the way that I do?

Gee baby, ain't I good to you?

Bought you a fur coat for Christmas,

A diamond ring,

A big Cadillac car, and everything.

What makes me treat you the way that I do?

Gee...

Baby, ain't I good... to you?

Sweet Lorraine lyrics - Nat King Cole

(originally by Rudy Vallee)

Just found joy

I'm as happy as a baby boy, baby boy

With another brand new choo-choo choy

When I met my sweet Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine.

A pair of eyes

That are brighter than the summer sky

When you see them, you'll realize

Why I love my sweet Lorraine.

Now when it's rainin',

I don't miss the sun

Because it's in my baby's smile, whoa ho

And to think that I'm the lucky one

That will lead her down the aisle, whoa ho ho

Each night I pray

That no one will steal her heart away

I can't wait until that lucky day

When I marry sweet Lorraine.

Now when it's rainin'

I don't miss the sun

Because it's in my baby's smile, whoa ho

And to think that I'm the lucky one

That will lead her down the aisle, whoa ho ho

Each night I pray

That no one will steal her heart away

I can't wait until that lucky day

When I marry sweet Lorraine.

It's Only A Paper Moon lyrics - Nat King Cole

(originally by Paul Whiteman)

It is only a paper moon

Sailing over a cardboard sea

But it wouldn't be make-believe

If you believe in me

It is only a canvas sky

Hanging over a muslin tree

But it wouldn't be make-believe

If you believe in me

Without your love

It's a honky-tonk parade

Without your love

It's a melody played

In a penny arcade

It's a Barnum and Bailey world

Just as phony as it can be

But it wouldn't be make-believe

If you believe in me

Without your love

It's a honky-tonk parade

Without your love

It's a melody played

In a penny arcade

It's a Barnum and Bailey world

Just as phony as it can be

But it wouldn't be make-believe

If you believe in me

When I Take My Sugar To Tea lyrics - Nat King Cole

I'm just a little Jackie Horner

Since I met my sugar cane

That gang of mine has been revealin'

That they're feelin' sore

I left the lamp light on the corner

For the moon in lover's lane

I'm doing things I never did before

When I take my sugar to tea

All the boys are jealous of me

'Cause I never take her where the gang goes

When I take my sugar to tea

I'm a rowdy-dowdy--that's me

She's a high-hat baby--that's she

So I never take her where the gang goes

When I take my sugar to tea

Ev'ry Sunday afternoon

We forget about our cares

Rubbing elbows at the Ritz

With those millionaires

When I take my sugar to tea

I'm as Ritzy as can be

'Cause I never take her where the gang goes

When I take my sugar to tea

The Frim Fram Sauce lyrics - Nat King Cole

I don't want French fried potatoes,

Red ripe tomatoes,

I'm never satisfied.

I want the frim fram sauce with the Ausen fay

With chafafa on the side.

I don't want pork chops and bacon,

That won't awaken

My appetite inside.

I want the frim fram sauce with the Ausen fay

With chafafa on the side.

Now a persons really got to eat

And a person should eat right.

Five will get you ten

I'm gonna feed myself right tonight.

I don't want fish cakes and rye bread,

You heard what I said.

Waiter, please serve mine fried

I want the frim fram sauce with the Ausen fay

With chafafa on the side.

Now a persons really got to eat

And a person should eat right.

Five will get you ten

I'm gonna feed myself right tonight.

I don't want fish cakes and rye bread,

You heard what I said.

Waiter, please serve mine fried

I want the frim fram sauce with the Ausen fay

With chafafa on the side.

I want the frim fram sauce with the ausen fay

with cha fafa, cha fafa, cha fafa, on the side

P-LEAZZZE!

I'm A Shy Guy lyrics - Nat King Cole

I'm just a shy guy,

My, I'm a 'fraid-to-try guy

No lie.

There's a gal that I idolize

But I just can't seem to hypnotize.

And when she pets me,

You betcha, it gets me.

And everytime I hold her hand,

I'm just too shy to say the things I plan.

Everytime she's close to me,

My heart is filled with ecstasy,

And like a dope, I let the chance slip by.

There, I should have told her then

But all I did was sit and grin,

And I ended up so mad that I could cry.

'Cause I'm a shy guy

Wish I was a sly guy

Then I could say, "Baby, baby, I love you"

Just like those guys in moving pictures all do.

I'm just a shy guy

Wish I was a sly guy

Then I could say, "Baby, baby, I love you"

Just like those guys in moving pictures all do.

Embraceable You lyrics - Nat King Cole

Embrace me

My sweet embraceable you

Embrace me

You, irreplaceable you

Just one look at you

My heart grows tipsy in me

You and you alone

Bring out the gypsy in me

I love all

The many charms about you

Above all

I want my arms around you

Don't be a naughty baby

Come to papa, come to papa do

My sweet embraceable you

Don't be a naughty baby

Come to papa, come to papa do

My sweet embraceable you

(I Love You) For Sentimental Reasons lyrics - Nat King Cole

I love you for sentimental reasons

I hope you do believe me

I'll give you my heart

I love you and you alone were meant for me

Please give your loving heart to me

And say we'll never part

I think of you every morning

Dream of you every night

Darling, I'm never lonely

Whenever you are in sight

I love you for sentimental reasons

I hope you do believe me

I've given you my heart

I love you for sentimental reasons

I hope you do believe me

I've given you my heart

What Is This Thing Called Love? lyrics - Nat King Cole

(Instrumental)

If You Can't Smile And Say Yes (Please Don't Cry And Say No) lyrics - Nat King Cole

Knock me a kiss, you'll never miss

When I'm ready to go.

But if you can't smile and say yes,

Please don't cry and say no!

Squeeze me a squoze in these fine clothes,

Mmmm...I love you so.

But if you can't smile and say yes,

Please don't cry and say no!

When I ask for a date, the answer is no.

You don't know what you're saying.

Don't you know the war's on,

Everything is rationed,

How 'bout that jive, keep me alive?

Baby, let bygones be bygones,

'Cause men are scarce as nylons.

And if you can't smile and say yes,

Please don't cry and say no!

Baby, let bygones be bygones,

'Cause men are scarce as nylons.

And if you can't smile and say yes,

Please don't cry and say no, no, no, baby

Please don't cry and say no.

Come To Baby, Do! lyrics - Nat King Cole

I took a choo-choo-choo-choo fast as I could take a choo-choo,

I've come a long-long-long-long way to take you in my arms.

And now it's your first move to prove that you've been true,

Come to baby, do.

I've been away-way-way-way-way beyond the blue horizon,

I hope that no-no-no-no-no one else is on your mind.

So pucker up, my sweet, and meet your Waterloo,

Come to baby, do.

Stop me from guessing,

T'ain't no time to tease.

Stop all your messin',

And put your beggin' baby at ease.

I wanna love-love-love you just the way I wanna love you,

I'm gonna try-try-try to try to make you understand.

When all is said and done, the one for me is you.

Come to baby, do.

I've come a long, long way to kiss ya

You'll never know how much I missed ya.

Stop your teasin'

Come to baby, do.

All For You lyrics - Nat King Cole

When you raise your eyes and make believe,

All the stars come out and paint a world of blue.

There's my heart right up your sleeve

Waiting all for you.

When you smile on me, the world is mine,

And the dreams I dream, I know will all come true.

Every care becomes divine

Waiting all for you.

My heart is beating to the old refrain

When I'm alone with you.

My heart's repeating, "I'm in love again"

Can't we hold a rendez-vous?

You're the dreams I dream, the song I sing

You're the stars and moon and nearly everything.

Life would be a symphony,

Waiting all for you.

My heart is beating to the old refrain

When I'm alone with you.

My heart's repeating, "I'm in love again"

Can't we hold a rendez-vous?

You're the dreams I dream, the song I sing

You're the stars and moon and nearly everything.

Life would be a symphony,

Living all for you.

For You My Love lyrics - Nat King Cole

For you, my love, I'd do most anything,

I love you baby, and I hope you feel the same!

For you, my love, I'd swim the ocean blue,

There's nothing in this world that I wouldn't do for

You!

Let's go out tonight and celebrate,

I've a party plan for you that just won't wait!

For you, my love, I'd do most anything,

I love you baby, and I hope you feel the same!

You made me drink, you made me dream,

Changed my drink to milk and cream1

I said goodbye to all the mob,

I even went out and got a job!

For you, my love, I'd do most anything,

I love you baby, and I hope you feel the same!

(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66 lyrics - Nat King Cole

If you ever plan to motor west

Travel my way

Take the highway that's the best

Get your kicks on Route 66

It winds from Chicago to LA

More than two thousand miles all the way

Get your kicks on Route 66

Now you go through St. Louis

Joplin, Missouri

And Oklahoma City looks mighty pretty

You'll see Amarillo

Gallup, New Mexico

Flagstaff, Arizona

Don't forget Winona

Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino

Won't you get hip to this timely tip

When you make that California trip

Get your kicks on Route 66

Won't you get hip to this timely tip

When you make that California trip

Get your kicks on Route 66

All I Want For Christmas (Is My Two Front Teeth) lyrics - Nat King Cole Trio

Do-do-do-dum

Do-do-do-do-do-do

All I want for Christmas

Is my two front teeth

My two front teeth

Gee, if I could only have

My two front teeth

Then I could wish you Merry Christmas

It seems so long

Since I could say

"Sister Susie sitting on a thistle"

Gosh, oh gee

How happy I'd be if I could only whistle

All I want for Christmas

Is my two front teeth

My two front teeth

Gee, if I could only have

My two front teeth

Then I could wish you Merry Christmas

All I want for Christmas

Is my two front teeth

Two front teeth

Gee, if I could only have

My two front teeth

Then I could wish you Merry Christmas

It seems so long

Since I could say

"Sister Susie sitting on a thistle"

Gosh, oh gee

How happy I'd be if I could only whistle

All I want for Christmas

Is my two front teeth

Two front teeth

Gee, if I could only have

My two front teeth

Then I could wish you Merry Christmas

It seems so long

Since I could say

"Sister Susie sitting on a thistle"

Gosh, oh gee

How happy I'd be if I could only whistle

So, all I want for Christmas

Is my two front teeth

Two front teeth

My two front teeth

Gee, if I could only have

My two front teeth

Then I could wish you Merry Christmas (Christmas)

Buon Natale (Means Merry Christmas To You) lyrics - Nat King Cole

Buon Natale, means Merry Christmas to you

Buon Natale, to everyone

Happy New Year and lots of fun

Buon Natale, may all your wishes come true

Buon Natale in Italy

Means a Merry Christmas to you

Far away across the sea

In sunny Italy

There's a quaint little town

Not a clock has been wound

For over a century

They don't know the time or year

And no one seems to care

And this is the reason

The Christmas season

Is celebrated all year

Buon Natale, means Merry Christmas to you

Buon Natale, to everyone

Happy New Year and lots of fun

Buon Natale, may all your wishes come true

Buon Natale in Italy

Means Merry Christmas to you

China Gate lyrics - Nat King Cole

China Gate, China Gate

Many dreams, and many heart

You separate like two arms open wide

Some you welcome in and some must stay outside

Blow of rice, bitter tea

Is this all the good earth has to offer me?

Will I find peace of mind?

Does my true love wait behind the China Gate?

Will I find peace of mind?

Does my true love wait behind the China Gate?

Come In Out Of The Rain lyrics - Nat King Cole

Come in out of the rain

Brush those tears from your eyes

If I've been kind of mean to you

I apologize

Come here, where you belong

You were right, I was wrong

Sometimes we have a spat or two

What is love without a few?

Ah, come on, let a smile shine through

Come in out of the rain

Come here, where you belong

You were right, I was wrong

Sometimes we have a spat or two

What is love without a few?

Ah, come on, let a smile shine through

Come in out of the rain

Coo-Coo-Roo-Coo-Coo, Paloma lyrics - Nat King Cole

Please, pretty little dove

Hurry to my love, tell her this for me

Since she is far away

Every day is sad, blue as it can be

I couldn't even start

Pouring out my heart to her in a letter

You pretty little bird

You can sing the words, you can tell her better

Coo-coo-roo-coo-coo, paloma

Tell her that I'm oh so lonely

Coo-coo-roo-coo-coo, paloma

Tell her that I love her only

Say that I love her so

Everywhere I go

All I do is yearn

Just longing for her kiss

Dreaming of the bliss

When she will return

My head is full of stars

Full of soft guitars

Full of lover's wooing

Please hurry to her there

Tell her that I care

Tell her with your cooing

Coo-coo-roo-coo-coo, paloma

Tell her that I'm oh so lonely

Coo-coo-roo-coo-coo, paloma

Tell her that I love her only

Coo-coo-roo-coo-coo

Coo-coo-roo-coo-coo, paloma

How Deep Is The Ocean lyrics - Nat King Cole

How much do I love you?

I'll tell you no lie

How deep is the ocean?

How high is the sky?

How many times a day do I think of you?

How many roses are sprinkled with dew?

How far would I travel?

To be where you are?

How far is the journey

From here to a star?

And if I ever lose you

How much would I cry?

How deep is the ocean?

How high is the sky?

And if I ever lose you

How much would I cry?

How deep is the ocean?

How high is the sky?

Just As Much As Ever lyrics - Nat King Cole

Just as much as ever

I need you and want you to be here

Just as much as ever

I love you, and always will, my dear

Even though we two are parted

My feelings for you never drop

For loving you is something I started

And don't know how to stop

Just as much as ever

I'm hoping that you'll be mine again

Darlin', 'cause I'll never be satisfied till then

For I am still the same old me

With the same old love for you

Just as much as ever, my heart beats for you

(Just as much as ever)

(I'm hoping that you'll be mine again)

Darling, 'cause I'll never be satisfied till then

For I am still the same old me

With the same old love for you

Just as much as ever, my heart beats for you

Never Let Me Go lyrics - Nat King Cole

Never let me go

Love me much too much

If you let me go

Life will lose its touch

What would I be without you?

There's no place for me without you

Never let me go

I'd be so lost if you went away

There'd be a thousand hours in a day

Without you I know

Because of one caress my world was overturned

At the very start

All my bridges burned

By my flaming heart

You'd never leave me would you?

You couldn't hurt me could you?

Never let me go

I'd be so lost if you went away

There'd be a thousand hours in a day

Without you I know

Because of one caress my world was overturned

At the very start

All my bridges burned

By my flaming heart

You'd never leave me would you?

You couldn't hurt me could you?

Never let me go

On The Sunny Side Of The Street lyrics - Nat King Cole

Grab your coat and your hat

Leave your worries on the doorstep

Just direct your feet

To the sunny sunny side of the street

Can't you hear that pitter pat

Of that happy little tune in your step

Life can be so sweet

On the sunny sunny side of the street

I used to walk in the shade

With my blues on parade

I'm not afraid

Because my worries are all over

And the road's crossed over

If I'd never have a cent

I'd be rich as Rockefeller

Gold dust at my feet

On the sunny sunny side of the street

I used to walk in the shade

With my blues on parade

I'm not afraid

Because my worries are all over

And the road's crossed over

If I'd never have a cent

I'd be rich as Rockefeller

With gold dust at my feet

On the sunny sunny side of the street

Red Sails In The Sunset lyrics - Nat King Cole

{Red sails in the sunset, way out on the sea}

Oh, carry my loved one home safely to me

{She sailed at the dawning, all day I've been blue}

Red sails in the sunset, I'm trusting in you

Swift wings you must borrow

Make straight for the shore

We marry tomorrow

And she goes sailing no more

{Red sails in the sunset, way out on the sea}

Oh, carry my loved one home safely to me

Swift wings you must borrow

Make straight for the shore

We marry tomorrow

And she goes sailing no more

{Red sails in the sunset}

Way out on the sea (ooh-wee-ooh, wee-ooh)

Oh, carry my loved one

{Home safely to me}

[bracketed words are sung by Nat in unison with background singers]

[words in parentheses are sung by background singers only]

Ridin' On The Gravy Train lyrics - Paul Weston, Nat King Cole & Jo Stafford

I'm just walking through clover

Got no right to complain

All my worries are over

Ridin' on the gravy train

Left my troubles behind me

Left 'em back in the rain

If you want me you'll find me

Ridin' on the gravy train

Brother, I occupy a seat on the aisle

Don't need fair going there

Cause your ferry's a smile

Got a rainbow to guide me

Got a happy refrain

Lady luck is beside me

Ridin' on the gravy train

Brother, I occupy a seat on the aisle

Don't need fair going there

Cause your ferry's a smile

Got a rainbow to guide me

Got a happy refrain

Lady luck is beside me

Ridin' on the gravy train

With my baby beside me

Ridin' on the gravy train

The Little Christmas Tree lyrics - Nat King Cole

Little Christmas Tree

No one to buy you, give yourself to me

You're worth your weight in precious gold, you see

My little Christmas tree

Promise you will be

Nobody else's little Christmas tree

I'll make you sparkle, just you wait and see

My little Christmas tree

I'll put some tinsel in your hair

And you'll find that there's a strange new change

That you have never seen

I'll bring my boy a toy

He'll jump for joy

To see his bright new queen

With me you will go far

I'll show Saint Nick the tree you really are

And there'll be peace on Earth when Daddy lights your star

My little Christmas tree

With me you will go far

I'll show Saint Nick the tree you really are

And there'll be peace on Earth when Daddy lights your star

My little Christmas tree

You're big enough for three

My little Christmas tree

The Magic Window lyrics - Nat King Cole

Someday you'll be looking through a magic window

And you'll see yourself sail off with Captain Kidd

What adventures you'll enjoy

And you'll be the only boy

To discover where the treasure chest was hid

And if I remember that's what I once did

I remember looking through a magic window

And I saw myself teach Robin Hood to aim

Then what mischief I got in meeting HuckleberryFinn

And I saw it through that magic window frame

You can bet your bottom dream you'll do the same

With your nose against the glass and your elbows on the sill

You'll be a partner of Buffalo Bill

Or help solve a case with Sherlock Holmes

Or you'll get to go with Gullivereach time he roams

Grown-ups don't know where to find that magic window

But it's any window little boys look through

There's so much for you to see, so don't ever say to me

That you've got a lot of growing up to do

'Cause I wish that I were growing down to you

With your elbows on the sill and your nose against the pane

You'll toss the pumpkin at Ichabod Crane

You're one guy Paul Bunyan couldn't lick

You're the guy that whaled the daylights out of Moby Dick

Grown-ups don't know where to find that magic window

But it's any window little boys look through

There's so much for you to see, so don't ever say to me

That you've got a lot of growing up to do

'Cause I wish that I were growing down to you

The Sweet Bird Of Youth lyrics - Nat King Cole

The sweet bird of youth soon flies away

And nothing can make him stay

The sweet bird of youth soothes us his sound

To waste precious time is wrong

So come to my arms

We're young but we'll learn

That lips unkissed like moments missed

Can never return

How sad is the truth

Try though we may

The sweet bird of youth flies away

L-O-V-E lyrics - Nat King Cole

L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore can

Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you

L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore can

Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you
Love was made for me and you
Love was made for me and you

The Girl From Ipanema lyrics - Nat King Cole

Tall and tan
And young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema
Goes walking
And when she passes
Each one she passes goes
Oooh
When she walks
She's like a samba
That swings so cool
And sways so gentle
That when she passes
Each one she passes goes
Oooh
Oh
But I watch her so sadly
How can I tell her
I love her?
Yes
I would give
My heart gladly
But each day
When she walks
To the sea
She looks
Straight ahead
Not at me

Tall and tan
And young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema
Goes walking
And when she passes
I smile
But she doesn't see

(Ooh)
Oh
But I watch her
So sadly
How can I tell her
I love her?
Yes
I would give
My heart gladly
But each day
When she walks
To the sea
She looks
Straight ahead
Not at me

Tall and tan
And young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema
Goes walking
And when she passes
I smile
But she doesn't see
And when she passes
I smile
But she doesn't see
She doesn't
She doesn't
She doesn't see

Three Little Words lyrics - Nat King Cole

Three little words
Oh what i'd give for that wonderful phrase
To hear those three little words
That's all i'd live for the rest of my days
And what i feel in my heart
They tell sincerely
No other words can tell it half so clear-early
Three little words
Eight little letters
Which simply mean i love you-ou
And what i feel in my heart
They tell sincerely
No other words can tell it half so clear-early
Three little words
Eight little letters
Which simply mean i love you
Simply mean i-i love you-ou

Thanks To You lyrics - Nat King Cole

Thank you for teaching me how to love
Showing me what the world means
What I've been dreaming of
And now I know there is nothing that I could not do
Thanks to you

For teaching me how to feel
Showing me my emotions
Letting me know what's real
From what is not

What I've got is more
That I'd ever hoped for
And a lot of what I hope for is
Thanks to you

No mountain, no valley
No time, no space
No heartache, no heartbreak
No fall from grace

Can't stop me from believing
That my love will pull me through
Thanks to you

There's no mountain, no valley
No time, no space
No heartache, no heartbreak
No fall from grace

Can't stop me from believing
That my love will see me through
Thanks to you
Thanks to you

For teaching me how to live
Putting things in perspective
Teaching me how to give
And how to take

No mistake
We were put here together
And if I breakdown
Forgive me but it's true

That I'm aching
With the love I feel inside

More (Theme From Mondo Cane) lyrics - Nat King Cole

More
Than the greatest love the world
Has known,

This
Is the love I'll give to you
Alone.

More
Than the simple words
I've tried to say,
I'll only live to love you
More each day.

More than you'll ever know,
My arms long to hold you so.
My life will be in your keepin',
Wakin'... sleepin'... laughin'...weepin'.

Longer
Than always is a long, long time,
But far beyond forever,
You'll be mine.
I know I've never lived before,
And my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more.

I know I've never lived before,
And my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more.

Coquette lyrics - Nat King Cole

Hear me, why you keep fooling
Little coquette, making fun of the one who loves you
Breaking hearts you are ruling
Little coquette, true hearts tenderly dreaming of you.
Someday you'll fall in love as I fell in love with you.
Maybe the one you love will just be fooling too.
And when you are alone with all your regrets,
You know, my little coquette, I love you.

Someday you'll fall in love as I fell in love with you.
Now, maybe the one you love will just be fooling too.
And when you are alone with all your regrets,
Now, you know, my little coquette, I love you.

How I'd Love To Love You lyrics - Nat King Cole

How I'd love to love you
How I'd love to kiss you
How'd I'd love to have you
For my very own

Will you ever want me
The way I wanted you
Then say you'll always be with me
Till life is through

How I'd love to love you
There's no one above you
Let my arms enfold you
Through the cunning years

Though my lonely heart will always sing this song
Darling, how I'd love to love you from now on

Though my lonely heart will always sing this song
Darling, how I'd love to love you
How I'd love to love you
How I'd love to love you from now on

"Where Did Everyone Go?" (1963)

Where Did Everyone Go? lyrics - Nat King Cole

It wasn't my intention to eavesdrop,
But there a guy sat, two stools away,
And you could tell the bartender knew him
And that he'd been there some other day.
And while I sipped my libation,
I overheard his conversation...

"Remember
How I'd walk in,
What excitement there would be?
Never less than twenty people,
I had lots of friends, you see.

"I gave the party, I was the host.
Everyone loved me,
I was the most.

"Champagne and plenty of it,
Real imported caviar,
And the hat check girl got fifty
Just for lighting my cigar.

"I kept 'em laughin', jokes by the yard.
Everyone loved me,
I was a card.

"And I had a girl,
A beautiful girl,
Her whole world, I think, consisted of mink
And diamonds and pearls.

"Because she was mine,
I'd glitter and shine,
And life was a ball, and wasn't it all
So cozy 'n fine?

"But nothing lasts forever,
And the deepest well runs dry.
Just 'cause I've stopped rolling sevens
Doesn't mean I have to cry.

"I'll take that nightcap,
One more won't show.
And incidentally...maybe you know...
Where, oh, where, oh, where
Did everyone go?"

"Where, oh, where, oh, where
Did everyone go?"

Say It Isn't So lyrics - Nat King Cole

Say it isn't so...
Say it isn't so.
Everyone is saying you don't love me,
Say it isn't so.

Everywhere I go,
Everyone I know
Whispers that you're growing tired of me,
Say it isn't so.

People say that you
Found somebody new,
And it won't be long before you leave me,
Say it isn't true.

Say that everything is still okay,
That's all I want to know.
And what they're saying,
Say it isn't so.

People say passing by
Say he's younger than I
And it won't be long before you leave me,
Tell me it's a lie.

Say that everything is still okay,
That's all I want to know.
And what they're saying,
Say it isn't so.

If Love Ain't There lyrics - Nat King Cole

Better face the facts, ol' buddy,
And be prepared to take the blow.
You don't have to sit and study,
It's something anyone should know.
Shake hands... get your hat...
And go.

You can praise her eyes,
And adore her hair.
But if love ain't there,
It ain't there.

And you can walk her home
In the warm spring air,
But if love ain't there,
It ain't there.

And you can look
With a longing in your look,
And try every method in the book
And worship the smile that kind of
Took you unaware.

And you can weep and sigh,
You can say, "Unfair".
You can almost die of despair.
But if love ain't there,
It ain't there.

Am I Blue lyrics - Nat King Cole

Am I Blue ?
Got up this morning
Along about dawn
Without a warning
I found she was gone
Why should she do it
How could she do it
She'd never done it
Before...
Am I blue?
Am I blue?
Ain't these tears
In these eyes
Tellin' you?
Am I blue?
You'd be too
If your dreams
And your schemes
Just fell through
Was a time
I was her only one
But now I'm
The sad and
Lonely one
Was I gay
Till today?
Now she's gone
And we're through
Am I blue?

Someone To Tell It To lyrics - Nat King Cole

What good is a dream,
A plan or a scheme,
The rainbow that you pursue?
It's everything... and it's nothing
Without someone to tell it to.

How eager you are
To get to that star,
But after the journey's through,
You're only a lonely dreamer
Without someone to tell it to.

There'll be blue days,
Hard to get through days,
Days when you'll just want to die.
Soon you're older,
And the world's colder,
When there's no shoulder to cry on.

Castles in air
Are empty and bare
With no one to share the view.
The moonlight is merely moonlight,
There's no magic in "I love you"
Without someone
Someone to tell it to.

[Interlude]

The moonlight is merely moonlight,
There's no magic in "I love you"
Without someone
Someone to tell it to.

The End Of A Love Affair lyrics - Nat King Cole

So I walk a little too fast, and I drive a little too fast,
And I'm reckless it's true, but what else can you do
At the end of a love affair?

So I talk a little too much, and I laugh a little too much,
And my voice is too loud when I'm out in a crowd,
So that people are apt to stare.

Do they know, do they care, that it's only
That I'm lonely, and low as can be?
And the smile on my face isn't really a smile at all.

So I smoke a little too much, and I joke a little too much,
And the tunes I request are not always the best,
But the ones where the trumpets blare.

So I go at a maddening pace, and I pretend that it's taking his place,
But what else can you do at the end of a love affair?

I Keep Going Back To Joe's lyrics - Nat King Cole

I keep goin' back to Joe's
To that table in the corner,
Sippin' wine and staring at the door.
Our old waiter knows we're through,
Still he sets a place for you
Everything the way it was before.

I keep goin' back to Joe's,
But the man who plays piano
Never plays your favorite melody.
Joe keeps busy at the bar,
Never asks me where you are.
He was there when you walked out on me.

Now I pray you'll walk back in,
And you'll say what fools we've been,
And we'll celebrate a happy new beginning.
Chances are you'll never show,
But you'll know just where to find me
Every night until it's time to close.

Just in case you miss me, too,
I'll be there to welcome you.
That's why I keep going back...
That's why I keep goin' back...
To Joe's.

No, I Don't Want Her lyrics - Nat King Cole

No-o-o, I don't want her,
So I'll forget her.
Forget the love she gave me,
Somehow.
I've learned my lesson,
Don't have to tell me.
'Cause I'm gonna start forgettin',
Yes, I'm gonna start forgettin'
Right now.

Go on, take my share,
'Cause I don't want her.
And now, she's gone, good riddance, Goodbye.
But what my friends don't know
Is that I love her so.
And in my lonely room all day,
I cry.

Go-o on and take her,
'Cause I don't want her.
I know I'll find another,
Find another
Somewhere.
No, I don't want her,
She's not my kind now.
And if she's got somebody else,
Oh, really got somebody else,
I don't care.

To think that my love
Could say "Goodbye, love",
And leave me here, as low as the ground,
But no one knows but me
What she means to me,
And when I'm by myself,
All day I sigh.

'Cause without her...
I could lay me down
And die.

Spring Is Here lyrics - Nat King Cole

Spring is here! Why doesn't my heart go dancing?
Spring is here! Why isn't the waltz entrancing?
No desire, no ambition leads me
Maybe it's because nobody needs me
Spring is here! Why doesn't the breeze delight me?
Stars appear, why doesn't the night invite me?
Maybe it's because nobody loves me
Spring is here I hear

Spring is here! Why doesn't my heart go dancing?
Spring is here! Why isn't the waltz entrancing?
No desire, no ambition leads me
Maybe it's because nobody needs me
Spring is here! Why doesn't the breeze delight me?
Stars appear, why doesn't the night invite me?
Maybe it's because nobody loves me
Spring is here I hear

That's All There Is (There Isn't Anymore) lyrics - Nat King Cole

That's all there is,
There isn't any more, my sweet.
I've gone about as far as I can go.

I realize the things you did
You had to do,
And they weren't so terribly bad to do.
But you shouldn't have told me,
I didn't want to know.

Maybe I tried too hard,
I thought that we could reach the sky.
I guess
The mountain was too high to climb
I put a sign that says, "FOR SALE"
On all my dreams
And a permanent lock on my door.

That's all there is,
There isn't any more.

But if you need me,
Call me, baby...
Call me.

"The Christmas Song" (1963)

The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas To You) lyrics - Nat King Cole

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots, with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you

Deck The Hall lyrics - Nat King Cole

Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Tis the season to be jolly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Don we now our gay apparel
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la.
Troll the ancient Yule-tide carol
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.

See the blazing Yule before us.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Strike the harp and join the chorus.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Follow me in merry measure.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
While I tell of Yule-tide treasure.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Fast away the old year passes.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Hail the new year, lads and lasses
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Sing we joyous, all together.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Heedless of the wind and weather.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Adeste Fideles lyrics - Nat King Cole

O Come All Ye Faithful
Joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem.
Come and behold Him,
Born the King of Angels;
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.

Adeste fideles,
Laeti triumphantes,
Venite, venite in Bethlehem;
Natum videte,
Regem Angelorum

Venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus Dominum!

God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen lyrics - Nat King Cole

God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satans power
When we were gone astray
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy

From God, our heavenly Father
A blessed angel came
And unto certain poor shepherds
Brought tidings of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy

Fear not then said the angel,
Let nothing you affright
This day is born a Savior of pure virgin bright
To free all those who trust in Him
From Satan's power and might
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy

Now to the Lord sing praises
All you within this place
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace
This holy tide of Christmas
All others doth deface
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy

O Tannenbaum lyrics - Nat King Cole

O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
wie treu sind deine Bltter!
Du grnst nicht nur
zur Sommerzeit,
Nein auch im Winter, wenn es schneit.
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
wie treu sind deine Bltter!

O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum!
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!
Wie oft hat nicht zur Weihnachtszeit
Ein Baum von dir mich hoch erfreut!
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum!
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!

O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum!
Dein Kleid will mich
was lehren:
Die Hoffnung und Bestndigkeit
Gibt Trost und Kraft
zu jeder Zeit.
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum!
Das soll dein Kleid
mich lehren.

O Little Town Of Bethlehem lyrics - Nat King Cole

O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by

Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight

For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love

O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God our King
And peace to men on earth

I Saw Three Ships lyrics - Nat King Cole

I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day in the morning
On Christmas Day in the morning

And what was in those ships all three
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day?
And what was in those ships all three
On Christmas Day in the morning?
On Christmas Day in the morning

The Virgin Mary and Christ were there
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
The Virgin Mary and Christ were there
On Christmas Day in the morning

And all the Angels in Heaven shall sing
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
And all the Angels in Heaven shall sing
On Christmas Day in the morning

Then let us all rejoice again
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
Then let us all rejoice again
On Christmas Day in the morning
On Christmas Day in the morning

O Holy Night lyrics - Nat King Cole

O holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth

The thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees, oh, hear the angel voices
O night divine, O night when Christ was born

O night divine
O night
O night divine

Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the angel voices
O night divine, O night when Christ was born

O night divine
O night
O night divine

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing lyrics - Nat King Cole

Hark, the herald angels sing
"Glory to the new born King
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled"

Joyful all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With th' angelic host proclaim
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"

Hark, the herald angels sing
"Glory to the new born King"

Hail the Heaven born, Prince of Peace
Hail the Son of Righteousness
Light and life to all He brings
Risen with healing in His wings

Mild He lays His glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth

Hark, the herald angels sing
"Glory to the new born King"

A Cradle In Bethlehem lyrics - Nat King Cole

Sing sweet and low your lullaby
Till angels say, "amen."
A mother tonight is rocking a cradle in bethlehem
While wise men follow through the dark a star that beckons them.
A mother tonight is rocking a cradle in bethlehem.
"a little child shall lead them," the prophets said of old.
In storm and tempest keep 'em until the bells is tolled.
Sing sweet and low your lullaby
Till angels say, "amen."

A mother tonight is rocking a cradle in bethlehem.
Choir
Sing sweet and low your lullaby.

A mother tonight is rocking a cradle in bethlehem.

Away In A Manger lyrics - Nat King Cole

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing the poor baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus no crying He makes
I love thee Lord Jesus look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle till morning is night

Be near me Lord Jesus I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever and love me I pray
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care
And take us to Heaven to live with Thee there

Joy To The World lyrics - Nat King Cole

Joy to the world
The Lord is come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven, and heaven and nature sing

Joy to the earth
The Saviour reigns
Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods
Rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy

He rules the earth
With truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of his righteousnes
And wonders of his love
And wonders of his love
And wonders, and wonders of his love

The First Noel lyrics - Nat King Cole

The First Noel
The angels did say
Was to certain
Poor shepherds
In fields as they lay
In fields where they may
Keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night
That was so deep
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born
Is the King of Israel

They looked up
And saw a star
Shining in the East
Beyond them far
And to the Earth
It gave great light
And so it continued
Both day and night
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born
Is the King of Israel

Then entered
In those Wise men three
Full reverently
Upon their knee
And offered there
In His presence
Their gold and myrrh
And frankincense
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born
Is the King of Israel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born
Is the King of Israel

Caroling, Caroling lyrics - Nat King Cole

Caroling, caroling now we go
Christmas bells are ringing
Caroling, caroling through the snow
Christmas bells are ringing
Joyous voices sweet and clear
Sing the sad of heart to cheer
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Christmas bells are ringing
(Caroling, caroling through the town)
Christmas bells are ringing
(Caroling, caroling up and down)
Oh, Christmas bells are ringing
(Mark ye well the song we sing)

Caroling, caroling up and down
Christmas are ringing
Mark thee well the song that we sing
Gladsome tidings now we bring
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Christmas bells are ringing
Oh, caroling (caroling, caroling)
We're caroling

Through the town here we go

And there's lots of our voices to cheer
(Caroling, caroling)
Sweet and clear
Bells are ringing so fine
It's a wonderful time of the year
Far and near
Oh caroling....

O Come All Ye Faithful lyrics - Nat King Cole

Oh, come ye
O come ye to Bethlehem

Leaving their flocks
Draw nigh with lowly fear
We too will thither hend
Our joyful footsteps
O come, let us adore him

Born this happy morning
Jesus
To thee be glory given
Word of the Father
Now in flesh appearing
O come
Let us adore him

Silent Night lyrics - Nat King Cole

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round your Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth

Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing alleluia
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born

Why Should I Cry Over You? lyrics - Nat King Cole

[Brackets indicate choir in background]

(I don't why I should cry over you?)
Sigh over you? Even be blue?
I should have known that you'd leave me alone
And break my heart in two

Although you have left me alone to pine
And all of my love was a waste of time
Someday your heart will be broken like mine
So why should I cry over you?

(Although you have left me alone to pine)
And all of my love was a waste of time
Someday your heart will be broken like mine
So why should I cry over you?

Near You lyrics - Nat King Cole

There's just one place for me
Near you
It's like heaven to be
Near you

Times when we're apart
I can't face my heart
Say you'll never stray
More than just two lips away

If my hours could be spent
Near you
I'd be more than content
Near you
Make my life worthwhile
By telling me that I'll
Spend the rest of my days
Near you [x2]

I'll spend the rest of my days
Near you
Spend the rest of my days
Near you (and fade)

All Over The World lyrics - Nat King Cole

All over the world
All over the world

Love is the thing
It's the one thing, you'll see
All that it takes
Is a he and a she

All over the world
All over the world

Love was and love is
And always will be
All over the world

(Whether you're in
Maine or California
Doesn't matter, I know
You can be in Tennessee or
You can be in old Mexico)

(It can happen
Summer, spring or fall or
When the winter winds blow
Love is a wonderful thing)

Lovers can be found
In foggy London town
In Rome or Peru

Even in Damascus
Lovers never ask us
What they should do

You don't have to park
In Paris after dark
To know that it's true
Love is a wonderful thing

All over the world
All over the world

Love was and love is
And always will be
All over the world
All over the world

Oh, How I Miss You Tonight lyrics - Nat King Cole

Oh, how I miss you tonight
Miss you when the lights are low
Oh, how I need you tonight

Each moment that we're apart
You're never out of my heart
I'd rather be lonely
And wait for you only

Sweetheart
How I miss you tonight
Oh, how I miss you tonight
Miss you when the lights are low
Oh, how I need you tonight
More then you'll ever know
Each moment that we're apart
You're never out of my heart
I'd rather be lonely
And wait for you only

Sweetheart
How I miss you tonight
Each moment that we're apart
You're never out of my heart
I'd rather be lonely
And wait for you only

Sweetheart
How I miss you tonight

If you know someone
Please tell me who
Dear Lonely Hearts
I'd be so grateful to you
(Grateful to you)

All By Myself lyrics - Nat King Cole

I'm so unhappy
What'll I do?
I long for somebody who
Will sympathize with me
I'm growing so tired of living alone
I lie awake all night and cry
Nobody loves me
That's why

All by myself in the morning
All by myself in the night

I sit alone with a table and a chair
So unhappy there
Playing solitaire

All by myself I get lonely
Watching the clock on the shelf

I'd love to rest my weary head on somebody's shoulder
I hate to grow older
All by myself

Who's Next In Line? lyrics - Nat King Cole

You used me for a stepping stone
'Til something better came along.
Now you've moved along
And left me behind.
I wonder, darling,
Who's next in line?

You left a trail of broken hearts
Torn into a million parts.
How many more
Will crumble like mine?
I wonder, darling,
Who's next in line?

Who will the next fool be?
Who will you kiss,
Like you kissed me?
Who will be next
To look in your eyes,
And believe all your beautiful lies?

I know, my love, the day will come
You'll pay for all,
All the wrong you've done.
You'll meet someone
Who isn't so blind.
My darling, your heart
Is next in line.

My darling, your heart
Maybe next in line.

My darling, your heart
Is next in line.

[Repeat to fade]

It's A Lonesome Old Town lyrics - Nat King Cole

It's a lonesome old town, when you're not around, I'm lonely, as I can be.
I never knew how much I missed you, but now I can plainly see.
It's a lonesome old town, when you're not around,
How I wish you'd come back to me.

I never knew how much I missed you, but now I can plainly see.
It's a lonesome old town, when you're not around,
How I wish you'd come back to me.
How I wish you'd come back to me

I Don't Want To Be Hurt Anymore lyrics - Nat King Cole

I don't want to be hurt anymore
By a part-time love affair
And I don't want to cry like before
Why pretend, again, you care
Please don't coax me back into your arms
I've been fooled many times by-y your charms
I know if I kissed you
I might not resist you
I don't want to be hurt anymore
Please don't coax me back into your arms
I've been fooled many times by-y your charms
I know if I kissed you
I might not resist you
I don't want to be hurt anymore-ore

You're Crying On My Shoulder lyrics - Nat King Cole

Oh, you're crying on my shoulder for somebody else
Crying while I'm sighing for you

Holding you is such a sweet sensation
But you don't want my love, you want my consolation

Though you smile for someone, you don't smile for me
I just share your tears when you're blue

You're crying on my shoulder for somebody else
While my heart is crying for you

You're crying on my shoulder for somebody else
While my heart is crying for you
While my heart is crying for you

Only Yesterday lyrics - Nat King Cole

Only yesterday I loved you
And you said that you loved me
Yesterday, I thought we both knew
That our love would always be

We planned our lives together, dear
Setting our hopes so high
You were my future, bright and clear
A rainbow that filled my sky

And only yesterday I loved you
But today it's plain to see
When you said you loved forever
No, you didn't mean just me

And only yesterday I loved you
But today it's plain to see
When you said you loved forever
No, you didn't mean just me

No, you didn't mean just me

I'm Alone Because I Love You lyrics - Nat King Cole

I'm alone because I love you
Love you with all my heart
I'm alone because I had to be true
Sorry, I can't say the same about you

Yesterday's kisses are bringing me pain
Yesterday's sunshine has turned into rain
I'm alone because I love you
Love you with all my heart

I'm alone because I love you
Love you with all my heart

Don't You Remember? lyrics - Nat King Cole

Remember, remember

Don't you remember when I met you?
(Remember)
Didn't the moon look big that night?
(Remember)
Didn't you say my arms felt right about you?
(Remember)

Don't you remember how I kissed you?
(Remember)
Didn't you snuggle close to me?
(Remember)
Didn't you say, "I'd never be without you"?
(Remember)

Now your love's grown as cold as December
And my blue skies have all turned to gray
In my heart, I will always remember
All the love that we knew yesterday

Don't you remember what you promised?
(Remember)
Didn't we set a wedding day?
(Remember)
Didn't you say you would wait?
Don't you remember?
(Stop, stop, stop pretending)

Don't you remember, it was springtime?
How all the roses were in bloom
You had my picture upside down
Remember

And then there was the time
That we made our plans about the future
We said we'd really settle down
We'd build a house outside of town
Remember

Now your love's grown as cold as December
(So cold)
And my blue skies have all turned to gray
(So gray)
In my heart, I will always remember
All the love that we knew yesterday
(Don't you remember?)

Don't you remember what you promised?
(Remember)
Didn't we set a wedding day?
(Remember)
Didn't you say you would wait?
Don't you remember?
(Stop pretending, I remember)
Remember

You're My Everything lyrics - Nat King Cole

You're my everything
Underneath the sun
You're my everything
Rolled up into one

You're my only dream
My only real reality
You're my idea
Of a perfect personality

You're my everything
Everything I need
You're the song I sing
And the book I read

You're a way beyond belief
And just to make it brief
You're my winter, summer, spring
My everything

You're my everything
Everything I need
You're the song I sing
And the book I read

You're a way beyond belief
And just to make it brief
You're my winter, summer, spring
My everything

I Don't Want To See Tomorrow lyrics - Nat King Cole

(I don't want to see tomorrow,
unless I see it with you.)

Tomorrow, so they say
Will be a lovely day,
A bright new sun will suddenly break through,
But I don't want to see tomorrow,
Unless I see it with you.

Tomorrow, so I hear
The clouds will disappear,
The door to happiness will open wide.
But I don't want to see tomorrow,
Unless you're there by my side.

Don't want to walk alone,
Don't want to dream alone,
Just want you close to my heart.
For if your love is gone,
How can I face the dawn of
Sunday, or Monday?
I just can't face one day...

Until you say you're mine,
Oh, darling, please be mine
And make each bright tomorrow young and new.
But I don't want to face tomorrow
Unless I see it with you.

(Tomorrow, so I hear
The clouds will disappear,
The door to happiness will open wide.)
But I don't want to see tomorrow,
Unless I see it with you.

Brush Those Tears From Your Eyes lyrics - Nat King Cole

Brush those tears from your eyes
And try to realize
That the ache in my heart is for you

Brush those tears from your eyes
And try to realize
That from now on I'll always be true

I went away
But I didn't mean to stay
And I will regret it
Until my dying day

Brush those tears from your eyes
And try to realize
That the ache in my heart is for you

Brush those tears from your eyes
And try to realize
That the ache in my heart is for you

Brush those tears from your eyes
And try to realize
That from now on I'll always be true

I went away
But I didn't mean to stay
And I will regret it
Until my dying day

Brush those tears from your eyes
And try to realize
That the ache in my heart is for you
That the ache in my heart is for you

Road To Nowhere lyrics - Nat King Cole

Goodbye, lonely heartache,
Farewell, bitter tears.
I'm leaving forever,
And not just for years.

You're home again, darling,
And I love you so.
But you love another,
That's why I must go.

Down the road to nowhere,
I'll wander my lonely days through.
Down the road to nowhere,
I'm nowhere at all without you.

Our favorite places
That made moments fly
Just can't be forgotten,
But still I must try.

The dance where I met you
When you walked my way,
I cry when I pass them
So I'll drift away.

Down the road to nowhere,
I'll wander my lonely days through.
Down the road to nowhere,
I'm nowhere at all without you...
I'm nowhere at all without you...
I'm nowhere at all without you.

Nature Boy lyrics - Nat King Cole

There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far
Very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he

And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return"

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return"

Lush Life lyrics - Nat King Cole

I used to visit all the very gay places
Those come what may places
Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life
To get the feel of life
From jazz and cocktails

The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces
With distingué traces
That used to be there, you could see where they'd been washed away
By too many through the day
Twelve o'clock tales

Then you came along with your siren of song
To tempt me to madness
I thought for a while that your poignant smile
Was tinged with the sadness
of a great love for me

Ah yes, I was wrong
Again
I was wrong

Life is lonely again
And only last year
Everything seemed so sure
Now life is awful again
A troughful of hearts
Could only be a bore

A week in Paris will ease the bite of it
All I care is to smile in spite of it

I'll forget you, I will
While yet you are still
Burning inside my brain

Romance is mush
Stifling those who strive
I'll live a lush life
In some small dive

And there I'll be
While I rot
With the rest of those
Whose lives are lonely, too

Calypso Blues lyrics - Nat King Cole

Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...
Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...

Sittin' by de ocean
Me heart, she feel so sad,
Sittin' by de ocean,
Me heart, she feel so sad...
Don't got de money
To take me back to Trinidad.

Fine calypso woman,
She cook me shrimp and rice,
Fine calypso woman,
She cook me shrimp and rice...
Dese yankee hot dogs
Don't treat me stomach very nice.

In Trinidad, one dollar buy
Papaya juice, banana pie,
Six coconut, one female goat,
An' plenty fish to fill de boat.

One bushel bread, one barrel wine,
An' all de town, she come to dine.
But here is bad, one dollar buy
Cup of coffee, ham on rye.

Me throat she sick from necktie,
Me feet hurt from shoes.
Me pocket full of empty,
I got Calypso blues.

Dese yankee girl give me big scare,
Is black de root, is blonde de hair.
Her eyelash false, her face is paint,
And pads are where de girl she ain't!

She jitterbug when she should waltz,
I even think her name is false.
But calypso girl is good a lot,
Is what you see, is what she got.

Sittin' by de ocean
Me heart, she feel so sad,
Sittin' by de ocean,
Me heart, she feel so sad...
Don't got de money
To take me back to Trinidad.

Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...
Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...

Mona Lisa lyrics - Nat King Cole

Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, men have named you
You're so like the lady with the mystic smile
Is it only 'cause you're lonely they have blamed you?
For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your smile?

Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa?
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there

Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa?
Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art?

Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa?
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there

Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa?
Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art?

Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa

Orange Colored Sky lyrics - Nat King Cole

I was walking along
Mindin' my business
When out of the orange colored sky
Flash, Bam, Alakazam,
Wonderful you came by

I was hummin' a tune
Drinkin' in sunshine
When out of that orange colored view
Wham, Bam, Alakazam,
I got a look at you.

One look and I yelled "timber"
Watch out for flying glass

'Cause the ceiling fell in
And the bottom fell out
I went in to a spin
And i started to shout
"I've been hit, this is it, this is it"

I was walking along
Mindin' my business
When love came and hit me in the eye
Flash, Bam, Alakazam,
Out of the orange colored sky

Well, one look and I yelled "timber"
Watch out for flying glass

'Cause the ceiling fell in
And the bottom fell out
I went in to a spin
And i started to shout
"I've been hit, this is it, this is it, I've been hit"

I was walkin' along
Mindin' my business
When love came and hit me in the eye
Flash, Bam, Alakazam,
Out of that orange colored,
Purple striped,
Pretty green polka-dot sky
Flash, Bam, Alakazam...
And goodbye

Somewhere Along The Way lyrics - Nat King Cole

I used to walk with you
Along the avenue
Our hearts were carefree and gay
How could I know I'd lose you
Somewhere along the way?

The friends we used to know
Would always smile "Hello"
No love like our love they'd say
Then love slipped through our fingers
Somewhere along the way

I should forget
But with the loneliness of night I start remembering ev'rything
You're gone and yet
There's still a feeling deep inside
That you will always be part of me

So now I look for you
Along the avenue
And as I wander I pray
That some day soon I'll find you
Somewhere along the way

I should forget
But with the loneliness of night I start remembering ev'rything
You're gone and yet
There's still a feeling deep inside
That you will always be part of me

So now I look for you
Along the avenue
And as I wander I pray
That some day soon I'll find you
Somewhere along the way
Somewhere along the way

Somewhere Along The Way lyrics - Nat King Cole

Pretend lyrics - Nat King Cole

Pretend you're happy when you're blue
It isn't very hard to do
And you'll find happiness without an end
Whenever you pretend
Remember anyone can dream
And nothing's as bad as it may seem
The little things you haven't got could be a lot if you pretend
You'll find a love you can share
One you can call all your own
Just close your eyes she'll be there
You'll never be alone
And if you sing this melody
You'll be pretending just like me
The world is mine it can be yours my friend
So why don't you pretend

Blue Gardenia lyrics - Nat King Cole

Blue gardenia
Now I'm alone with you
And I am, oh, so blue
She has tossed us aside

And like you, gardenia
Once I was near her heart
After the teardrops start
Where are teardrops to hide?

I lived for an hour
What more can I tell
Love bloomed like a flower
Then the petals fell

Blue gardenia
Thrown to a passing breeze
But rest in my book
Of memories

I lived for an hour
What more can I tell
Love bloomed like a flower
Then the petals fell

Blue gardenia
Thrown to a passing breeze
But rest in my book
Of memories

I Am In Love lyrics - Nat King Cole

I am dejected.
I am depressed.
Yet resurrected and sailing the crest.
Why this elation, mixed with deflation?
What explanation?
I am in love.

Such conflicting questions rise
Around in my brain
Should I order cyanide
Or order champagne?

Oh, what is this sudden jolt?
I feel like a frightened colt,
Just hit by a thunderbolt.
I am in love.

I knew the odds were against me before,
I had no flair for flaming desire,
But since the gods gave me you to adore,
I may lose but I refuse to fight the fire,

So come and enlighten my days and never depart.
You only can brighten the blaze that burns in my heart,
For I am wildly in love with you,
And so in need of a stampede of love.

I knew the odds were against me before,
I had no flair for flaming desire,
But since the gods gave me you to adore,
I may lose but I refuse to fight the fire,

So come and enlighten my days and never depart.
You only can brighten the blaze that burns in my heart,
For I am wildly in love with you,
And so in need of a stampede of love,
And so in need of a stampede of love.

Answer Me, My Love lyrics - Nat King Cole

Answer me, oh, my love
Just what sin have I been guilty of?
Tell me how I came to lose your love
Please answer me, sweetheart

You were mine yesterday
I believed that love was here to stay
Won't you tell me where I've gone astray?
Please answer me, my love

If you're happier without me
I'll try not to care
But if you still think about me
Please listen to my prayer

You must know I've been true
Won't you say that we can start anew?
In my sorrow now I turn to you
Please answer me, my love

(If you're happier without me)
(I'll try not to care)
But if you still think about me
Please listen to my prayer

You must know (you must know)I've been true (I've been true)
Won't you say that we can start anew?
In my sorrow now I turn to you
Please answer me, my love

Answer me, my love

Smile lyrics - Nat King Cole

Smile tho' your heart is aching
Smile even tho' it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by

If you smile
Thro' your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shin-ing thro' for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide ev-'ry trace of sadness
Altho' a tear may be ever so near

That's the time
You must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worth-while

If you just smile

Darling, Je Vous Aime Beaucoup lyrics - Nat King Cole

Darling, je vous aime beaucoup
Je ne sais pas what to do
You know you've completely
Stolen my heart

Morning, noon and nighttime too
Toujours, wondering what to do
That's the way I've felt
Right from the start

Ah, Cheri!
My love for you is très, très fort
Wish my French were good enough
I'd tell you so much more

But I hope that you compris
All the things you mean to me
Darling, je vous aime beaucoup
I love you, yes I do

Wish my French were good enough
I'd tell you so much more

But I hope that you compris
All the things you mean to me
Darling, je vous aime beaucoup
I love you, yes I do

(Darling, je vous aime beaucoup)
I love you, yes I do
