NAT KING COLE – Embraceable You

Embrace me
My sweet embraceable you
Embrace me
You, irreplaceable you

Just one look at you
My heart grows tipsy in me
You and you alone
Bring out the gypsy in me

I love all
The many charms about you
Above all
I want my arms around you

Don’t be a naughty baby
Come to papa, come to papa do
My sweet embraceable you

Don’t be a naughty baby
Come to papa, come to papa do
My sweet embraceable you

NAT KING COLE – Don’t Let It Go To Your Head

So what if I came clean
And told you all you mean to me
So what if I meant every word I said
Baby don’t let it go to your head
So what if I write your name
Cause you’re always on my brain
In a heart, I paint it crimson red
Baby don’t let it go to your head

Don’t be getting any big ideas
Let me make it clear

Just cause I can’t go on
Just cause I die when you’re gone
Just cause I think of you in bed
Don’t let it go to your head
If I looked in your eyes
One, two, too many times
And memorized every word you said
Don’t let it go to your head

So what if I want to kiss
From your toes up to your lips
It don’t mean that you’ve had me yet
You’re gonna be good, I bet

I’m the one whose in control here
Let me make it clear

Just cause I can’t go on
Just cause I die when you’re gone
Just cause I think of you in bed
Don’t let it go to your head
If I looked in your eyes
One, two, too many times

And memorized every word you said
Don’t let it go to your head

Oh
Don’t let it go to your head
Oh

I had a porcelain doll
I held on to it so tightly
But when it broke, I swore
I’d never hold on to something that tightly again
Don’t let it go to your head
Oh, no (oh, no)

Just cause I can’t go on
Just cause I die when you’re gone
Just cause I think of you in bed
Don’t let it go to your head
Don’t let it go to your head

Just cause I can’t go on
Just cause I die when you’re gone
Just cause I think of you in bed
Don’t let it go to your head
If I looked in your eyes (oh)
One, two, too many times
And memorized every word you said
Don’t let it go to your head (oh)
Don’t let it go to your head (oh)
Don’t let it go to your head (don’t let it, don’t let it)
Don’t let it go to your head (oh)

NAT KING COLE – Caravan

Night and stars above that shine so bright
The myst’ry of their fading light
That shines upon our caravan

Sleep upon my shoulder as we creep
Across the sand so I may keep
The mem’ry of our caravan

This is so exciting
You are so inviting
Resting in my arms
As I thrill to the magic charms

Of you beside me here beneath the blue
My dream of love is coming true
Within our desert caravan!

NAT KING COLE – Because You Love Me

For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I’ll be forever thankful baby
You’re the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You’re the one who saw me through through it all

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn’t speak
You were my eyes when I couldn’t see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn’t reach
You gave me faith ’cause you believed
I’m everything I am
Because you loved me

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I’m grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don’t know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn’t speak
You were my eyes when I couldn’t see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn’t reach
You gave me faith ’cause you believed
I’m everything I am
Because you loved me

You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You’ve been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn’t speak
You were my eyes when I couldn’t see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn’t reach
You gave me faith ’cause you believed
I’m everything I am
Because you loved me

NAT KING COLE – At Last

I was never spellbound by a starry sky
What is there to moon glow, when love has passed you by
Then there came a midnight and the world was new
Now here am I so spellbound, darling
Not by stars, but just by you

At last my love has come along
My lonely days are over and life is like a song
At Last the skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped in clover the night I looked at you
I found a dream that I can speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill I’ve never known
You smiled and then the spell was cast
And here we are in Heaven
For you are mine at last

At last my love has come along
My lonely days are over and life is like a song
At last the skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped in clover the night I looked at you
I found a dream that I can speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill I’ve never known
You smiled and then the spell was cast
And here we are in Heaven

NAT KING COLE – Almost Like Being In Love

What a day this has been
What a rare mood I’m in
Why, it’s almost like being in love

There’s a smile on my face
For the whole human race
Why, it’s almost like being in love

All the music of life seems to be
Like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel
When that bell starts to peal
I would swear I was falling
I could swear I was falling
It’s almost like being in love

NAT KING COLE – Ain’t Misbehavin’

No one to talk with
All by myself
No one to walk with
But I’m happy on the shelf
Ain’t misbehavin’
I’m savin’ my love for you
I know for certain
The one I love
Ain’t Misbehavin’

I’m through with flirtin’
It’s just you I’m thinkin’ of
Ain’t misbehavin’
I’m savin’ my love for you
Like Jack Horner
In the corner
Don’t go nowhere
What do I care
Your kisses
Are worth waiting for
Believe me
I don’t stay out late
Don’t care to go
I’m home about eight
Just me and my radio
Ain’t misbehavin’
I’m savin’ my-y love for you
Like Jack Horner
In the corner
Don’t go nowhere
What do I care
Your kisses
Are worth waiting for
Believe me-ee
I don’t stay out late
Don’t care to go
I’m home about eight
Just me and my radio
Ain’t misbehavin’
I’m saving my love for you

NAT KING COLE – Laura

You know the feeling of something half remembered
Of something that never happened, yet you recall it well.
You know the feeling of recognizing someone
That you’ve never met as far as you could tell, well.

Laura is the face in the misty light,
Footsteps that you hear down the hall.
The laugh that floats on a summer night
That you can never quite recall.
And you see Laura on the train that is passing through.
Those eyes, how familiar they seem.
She gave your very first kiss to you.
That was Laura but she’s only a dream.
