Nat “King” Cole - It’s a Lonesome Old Town Lyrics | gotlyric.com

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

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.
