Nat “King” Cole

Songwriter: Richard Rogers Lorenz Hart

This can't be love, because I feel so well
No sobs, no sorrows, no sighs
This can't be love; I get no dizzy spells
My head is not in the skies

My heart does not stand still, just hear it beat
This is too sweet to be love

This can't be love, because I feel so well
But still I love to look in your eyes

(Instrumental interlude)

My heart does not stand still, just hear it beat
This is too sweet to be love

This can't be love, because I feel so well
But still I love to look in your eyes
Still I love to look in your eyes

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.
