Forgive my heart
My foolish heart it won't believe we're through
Forgive my heart
You're still a part of everything I do
Forgive my lips
If now and then
They speak your name
If you are still

My only thrill
Am I to blame

Forgive my dreams
In all my dreams it seems your face appears
Forgive my eyes
I realize I'm only wasting tears
Don't know why you haunt me
But you do
Forgive my heart
I'm still in love with you

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.
