Nat “King” Cole - My Need For You Lyrics | gotlyric.com

Songwriter: Al Frisch Allan Roberts

Producer: Lee Gillette

If I were the moon you'd be the night
If I were the dawn you'd be the light
If I were a wave upon a stormy sea
You would be the friendly shore that welcomes me

If I were the stars you'd be the gleam
If I were a song you'd be the theme
You are everything I dream of all day through
I'll never lose my need for you

You are everything I dream of all day through
I'll never lose my need for you

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.
