Nat “King” Cole

Songwriter: Jimmy McHugh Harold Adamson

Love me as though there were no tomorrow;
Take me out of this world tonight
Take me; make me forget my sorrow
So when I wake tomorrow, I'll know our love was right
Kiss me as though it were now or never;
Teach me all that a heart should know
Love me as though there were no tomorrow;
Oh my darling, love me; don't ever let me go
(Instrumental interlude and pick up.)
Kiss me as though it were now or never;
Teach me all that a heart should know
Love me as though there were no tomorrow;
Oh my darling, love me; don't ever let me go

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.
