Nat “King” Cole - China Gate Lyrics | gotlyric.com

China Gate, China Gate
Many dreams, and many heart
You separate like two arms open wide
Some you welcome in and some must stay outside

Blow of rice, bitter tea
Is this all the good earth has to offer me?
Will I find peace of mind?
Does my true love wait behind the China Gate?

Will I find peace of mind?
Does my true love wait behind the China Gate?

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.
