This morning it was summer
I remember long ago
A skylark on my shoulder
Told me so

This morning we were lovers
We were happy and we were gay
But now, love
You are somewhere far away

You left me in the sunshine
Now there is rain
Oh, I tried so just to find you
But all my searching was in vain

This evening it is winter
Yet my heart sounds this alarm
This morning it was summer
In your arms

Yes, I tried so hard to find you
But all my searching was in vain

This evening it is winter
Yet my heart sounds this alarm
This morning it was summer
In your arms
Summer in, summer in your arms

Natalie Cole

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.
