Nat “King” Cole - What’ll I Do Lyrics | gotlyric.com

Songwriter: Irving Berlin

What'll I do when you
Are far away
And I'm so blue
What'll I do?

What'll I do when I
Am wondering who
Is kissing you
What'll I do?

What'll I do with just
A photograph
To tell my troubles to?

When I'm alone
With only dreams of you
That won't come true
What'll I do?

~Interlude~

When I'm alone
With only dreams of you
That won't come true
What'll I do?

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.
