But When NAT Sings.....

Rarely a voice reaches out

But when NAT Sings.....

Clearly touches in amounts

"KING" of all voices untouched

Velvet vocals blessed

Centre stage, pure class

A legacy forever passed

Music arrangement accompanied

Pure music pleasure totally accomplished

Here quietly listening without speaking

Taking in every vocal detail, pleasing

Dreaming, wishing to have a voice magical

Magically intoxicating, beautiful

Jealously only for having, but not having

NAT "KING" COLE forever missed, in heaven

Heavenly voiced lost to heavens above

For surely to early taken from us

Here lost in his voice

For many more feelings shared

Hearing others there is no comparing

STARDUST rained on one only

A voice making MONA LISA smile

Wanting to DANCE LIKE A BALLERINA

LOST APRIL, FOR ALL WE KNOW, L-O-V-E, THAT'S ALL

IF LOVE IS GOOD TO ME, SAY IT ISN'T SO, TOO YOUNG

Greatest hits there are many

Wishing for not ending

Cocooned motionless by surround sound

For when one only empowers

Above no one towers

Above NAT "KING" COLE's tower

But when NAT sings....

There is no pure towering sound around
