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

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.
