Nat “King” Cole - When You Walked By Lyrics | gotlyric.com

Songwriter: Joe Bushkin Johnny Burke

Producer: Lee Gillette

I look when you walk by
There goes the one for me, said I
How strange it seems, meeting the dream I dreamed
Something that fate had schemed for a lonely guy

When you walked by, I knew
All of my life, I'd follow you, so, here I'll be
Better get used to me and you may agree with a sigh
It was love when you walked by

And you may agree with a sigh
It was love when you walked by

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.
