Nat “King” Cole

Brush those tears from your eyes
And try to realize
That the ache in my heart is for you

Brush those tears from your eyes
And try to realize
That from now on I'll always be true

I went away
But I didn't mean to stay
And I will regret it
Until my dying day

Brush those tears from your eyes
And try to realize
That the ache in my heart is for you

Brush those tears from your eyes
And try to realize
That the ache in my heart is for you

Brush those tears from your eyes
And try to realize
That from now on I'll always be true

I went away
But I didn't mean to stay
And I will regret it
Until my dying day

Brush those tears from your eyes
And try to realize
That the ache in my heart is for you
That the ache in my heart is for 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.
