Stay as Sweet as You AreNat “King” Cole

(M. Gordon, H. Revel)

Stay as sweet as you are
Don't let a thing
Ever change you
Stay as sweet as you are
Don't let a soul
Rearrange you

Don't ever lose
All the charm you possess
Your loveliness, darling
The way you say "yes"

Stay as sweet as you are
Discreet as you are
You're divine, dear
Stay as grand as you are
And as you are
Tell me that you're mine, dear

Young and gay or old and gray
Near to me or afar
Night and day I pray
That you'll always stay
As sweet as you are

(Interlude)

Young and gay or old and gray
Near to me or afar
Night and day I pray
That you'll always stay
As sweet as you are

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.
