Nat “King” Cole

Songwriter: Ulpio Minucci Sammy Gallop

A thousand thoughts of you
Will haunt me ever after
The music of your laughter
Will serenade my heart

A thousand thoughts of you
Will roam the night and find me
With chains of love, they'll bind me
To dreams that won't depart

Your face
Your smile
The moonlight in your hair

Your lips
Your eyes
I'll see them everywhere

A thousand kisses, too
Will keep me reminiscing
For there'll be no dismissing
A thousand thoughts of you

~interlude~

A thousand kisses, too
Will keep me reminiscing
For there'll be no dismissing
A thousand thoughts of 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.
