[Chorus 1]
Unforgettable
That's what you are
Unforgettable
Tho' near or far

[Verse 1]
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before
Has someone been more...

[Chorus 2]
Unforgettable
In every way
And forever more
That's how you'll stay

[Verse 2]
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am
Unforgettable, too

[Interlude]

[Chorus 2]
Unforgettable
In every way
And forever more
That's how you'll stay

[Verse 2]
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am
Unforgettable, too

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.
