[Verse 1]
Night and stars above that shine so bright
The mystery of their fading light
That shines upon our caravan
Sleep upon my shoulder as we creep
Across the sand so I may keep
This memory of our caravan

[Bridge]
This is so exciting
You are so inviting
Resting in my arms
As I thrill to the magic charms

[Verse 2]
Of you beside me here beneath the blue
My dream of love is coming true
Within our desert caravan

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
This is so exciting
You are so inviting
Resting in my arms
As I thrill to the magic charms

[Outro]
Of you beside me here beneath the blue
My dream of love is coming true
Within our desert caravan

Nat “King” Cole

Nathaniel Adams Coles (17 March 1919 – 15 February 1965) was born in Montgomery, Alabama and used the stage name Nat “King” Cole throughout his career as a jazz pianist and later as a singer.

Cole’s first mainstream hit was “Straighten Up and Fly Right” in 1943. Bo Diddley, who performed similar folk-based material said that song was a big influence on him.

In the late 40s, Cole began recording more pop-oriented material. His stature as a pop singer was cemented by hits like “Route 66”, “Mona Lisa” and “Unforgettable”. In the 50s, virtually every home had a copy of his Christmas album.
