(M. Gordon, H. Revel)

Oh...there's a lull in my life
It's just a void, an empty space
When you are not in my embrace

Oh...there's a lull in my life
The moment that you go away
There is no night, there is no day

The clock stops ticking
The world stops turning
Everything stops
But that flame in my heart
That keeps burning...burning...

Oh...there's a lull in my life
No matter I may pretend
I know that you alone can end
The ache in my heart
The call of my arms...
The lull in my life

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.
