Once in a Blue MoonNat “King” Cole

The room is empty
The lights are dim
And my heart wonders
If I'll ever see you again
My tears are hungry
For an open door
When your arms held me
I never felt that way before
I'll be waiting
I'll be watching
Under a blue moon
The taste of heaven
Only happens
Once in a blue moon
Once in a blue moon
Do you remember
When the wind blew free
And we fit together
So naturally
If the wind closes a door
It will open another

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.
