Nat “King” Cole

Producer: Lee Gillette

Your eyes, are like the stars that sparkle up above
Your voice, is satin smooth and that reminds me of
Your touch, with all the magic of a velvet glove
Your smile, can cast a spell and I hear the cooing of a turtle dove

Your frown, is rather like a dimple and a pout
Your lips, are sweet as wine and make me want to shout
Your love, would take a million words to tell about
Your love, is something I could never do without

Your hair, gives off a glow that lights up any room
Your arms, surround me like a lily field in bloom
Your kiss, has got the wallop of a sonic boom
Your charms, intoxicate me just like a wonderful rare perfume

Your walk has got the move that I'm just wild about
Your wish could make me walk that celebrated route
Our love, would last a million years, there is no doubt
Your love, is something I could never live without

Your love is something I could never live without
I said, your love is something I could never live without

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.
