Nat “King” Cole - Morning Star Lyrics | gotlyric.com

As a child I asked my mother
"Is there a morning star?"
I was answered by my mother
"Yes, there's a morning star"

Just before the dawn she whispered
"A light will appear above"
And this light that greets the sunrise
This is the star of love

And that's when I learned
How wise all mother's are
For there in my mother's eyes
I saw the morning star

For there in my mother's eyes
I saw the morning star

The lovelight in her eyes
Shining bright a morning star

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.
