Nat King Cole Album

When I fall in love it will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the
sun

When I give my heart it will be
completely
Or I'll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that you
feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you.

(Instrumental)

And the moment I can feel that you
feel that way too
Is when I'll fall in love with you

And now the purple dust of twilight
time
Steals across the meadows of my
heart
high up in the sky the little stars
climb
Always reminding me that we're
apart
You wanderd down the lane and far
away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now the stardust of
yesterday
The music of the years gone by.

Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely nights, Dreaming of a
song
the melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
When our love was new
And each kiss an inspiration
but that was long ago
Now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song

Beside a garden wall
when stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
A paradise where roses grew
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
my stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain.

(M. Gordon, H. Revel)


Stay as sweet as you are,
Don't let a thing
Ever change you.
Stay as sweet as you are,
Don't let a soul
Rearrange you.


Don't ever lose
All the charm you possess,
Your loveliness, darling,
The way you say "yes".


Stay as sweet as you are
Discreet as you are,
You're divine, dear.
Stay as grand as you are,
And as you are,
Tell me that you're mine, dear.


Young and gay or old and gray,
Near to me or afar,
Night and day I pray
That you'll always stay
As sweet as you are.


(Interlude)


Young and gay or old and gray,
Near to me or afar,
Night and day I pray
That you'll always stay
As sweet as you are.

(Peggy Lee, Victor Young)


I went to Londontown
To clear up my mind,
Then on to Paris
For the fun I couldn't find.
I found I couldn't leave my memories behind.
Where can I go without you?


Tried seeing Singapore,
But that wouldn't do.
Went to Vienna,
But I found you there, too.
Even in Switzerland, your memory came through.
Where can I go without you?


I wanted travel, I wanted romance,
I chased that rainbow across the sea.
I'm tired of faces, and quaint old places
If you can't be there with me.


Back on the boat again
And farewell to France,
Farewell to Londontown,
They haven't a chance.
I'll trade the sights I've seen
For just one loving glance.
Where can I go without you?


~interlude~


I'm tired of faces, and quaint old places
If you can't be there with me.


Back on the boat again
And farewell to France,
Farewell to Londontown,
They haven't a chance.
I'll trade the sights I've seen
For just one loving glance.
Where can I go without you?

VERSE:
The sky may be starless,
The night may be moonless,
But deep in my heart there's a glow.
For deep in my heart
I know that you love me.
You love me because you told me so.

CHORUS:
Love letters straight from your heart
Keep us so near while apart.
I'm not alone in the night
When I can have all the love you write.

*I memorize ev'ry line,
I kiss the name that you sign.
And, darling, then I read again right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart.

(Instrumental interlude and pick up from *.)

I memorize ev'ry line,
I kiss the name that you sign.
And, darling, then I read again right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart.

It’s All in the Game
(Nat King Cole – Album: Love is the
Thing)

Many a tear has to fall
But it’s all in the game
All in the wonderful game
That we know as love
You have words with him
And your future’s looking dim
But these things your heart can rise
above

Once in a while he won’t call
But it’s all in the game
Soon he’ll be there at your side
With a sweet bouquet
And he’ll kiss your lips
And caress your waiting fingertips
And your heart will fly away

(Repeat)

WHEN SUNNY GETS BLUE

When Sunny gets blue, her eyes get gray and cloudy,
Then the rain begins to fall, pitter-patter, pitter-patter,
Love is gone, what can matter,
No sweet lover man comes to call.

When Sunny gets blue, she breaths a sigh of sadness,
Like the wind that stirs the trees,
Wind that sets the leaves to swaying
Like some violin is playing strange and haunting melodies.

Bridge:

*People used to love to hear her laugh, see her smile,
That's how she got her name.
Since that sad affair, she lost her smile, changed her style,
Somehow she's not the same.

But memories will fade, and pretty dreams will rise up
Where her other dreams fell through,
Hurry new love, hurry here, to kiss away each lonely tear,
And hold her near when Sunny gets blue.

(Instrumental interlude and pick up at Bridge*.)

Hurry new love, hurry here, to kiss away each lonely tear
And hold her near when Sunny gets blue.
