If I MayNat “King” Cole

Songwriter: Charles Singleton Rose Marie McCoy

Producer: Lee Gillette

(charles singleton, rose marie mccoy)

I'd like to love you everyday
If I may (if I may)
And dream dreams of you every night
If I might (if I might)

And if I may, I'd like to say
I wish that you were mine
If I had you, all I would do
Is adore you all the time

I'd like to tell you of your charms everyday
If I may (if I may)
I'd like to hold you in my arms every night
If I might (if I might)

You're the object of my affections
And if you have no objections
I'd like to love you night and day
If I may

(I'd like to love you everyday
If I may
And dream dreams of you every night
If I might.)

(and if I may, I'd like to say
I wish that you were mine
If I had you, all I would do
Is adore you all the time.)

I'd like to tell you of your charms everyday
If I may (if I may)
I'd like to hold you in my arms every night
If I might (if I might)

You're the object of my affections
And if you have no objections
I'd like to love you night and day
If I may

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.
