Natalie Cole

With my eyes wide open, I'm dreaming
Can it be true, I'm holding you close to my heart?
With my eyes wide open, I'm dreaming
You're with me now, sharing a vow never to part

When I'm so afraid
To close my eyes
Afraid that I'll find
This lovely thrill is just a silly illusion

With my eyes wide open, I'm dreaming
Do I deserve such a break?
Pinch me to prove I'm awake
'Coz I can't believe that you're really mine

I'm so afraid
This is just an illusion

With my eyes wide open, I'm dreaming
Do I deserve such a break?
Please, pinch me to prove I'm awake
I can't believe that you're really mine

You're really mine
Am I dreaming? I must be dreaming
With my eyes wide open
Eyes wide open

The daughter of jazz legend Nat King Cole, Natalie Marie Cole (February 6, 1950-December 31, 2015) was an R&B icon who was primarily active from 1956 until her death in 2015 due to congestive heart failure at age 65. She first rose to success in the mid-‘70s with Inseparable and Natalie and later spawning Grammy-recognized albums like Unforgettable…With Love, which took home Album of the Year.

Cole has nine Grammy Awards out of twenty-one nominations – only a small testament to her legend.
