Nat “King” Cole - Not So Long Ago Lyrics | gotlyric.com

Songwriter: Al Frisch Charles Tobias

Producer: Lee Gillette

Not so long ago you were my lover
Not so many moons ago
How green was my love, how brave and tender
I was much too young to know
Not so long ago I trembled when
We kissed and my heart said a soft, "Amen"
You may never know, never discover
How I loved you not so long ago

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.
