Songwriter: Ray Rasch Dotty Wayne

My heart's treasure darling is you
Please believe me darling it's true
You're so precious my heart wants to hide
My good fortune deep down inside

My heart's treasure I'll never share
Earthly riches cannot compare
My heart's treasure will always be
The love that you gave to me

My heart's treasure will always be
The love that you gave to me

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.
