Let There Be Love lyrics - Natalie Cole

Let there be you
Let there be me
Let there be oysters
Under the sea

Let there be wind
And occasional rain
Chili con carne
Sparkling champagne

Let there be birds
That sing in the trees
Someone to bless me
Whenever I sneeze

Let there be cuckoos
A lark and a dove
But first of all, please

Let there be love

Don't Explain lyrics - Natalie Cole

Hush now, don't explain
Just say you'll remain
I'm glad your back, don't explain

Quiet, don't explain
What is there to gain
Skip that lipstick
Don't explain

You know that I love you
And what endures
All my thoughts of you
For I'm so completely yours

Cry to hear folks chatter
And I know you cheat
Right or wrong, don't matter
When you're with me, sweet

Hush now, don't explain
You're my joy and pain
My life's yours love
Don't explain

As Time Goes By lyrics - Natalie Cole

This day and age we're living in
Gives cause for apprehension
With speed and new invention
And things like fourth dimension.
Yet we get a trifle weary
With Mr. Einstein's theory.
So we must get down to earth at times
Relax relieve the tension

And no matter what the progress
Or what may yet be proved
The simple facts of life are such
They cannot be removed

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh.
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by.

And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you."
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by.

Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date.
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate.
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny.

It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die.
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.

Oh yes, the world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.

Too Close For Comfort lyrics - Natalie Cole

Be wise, be smart, behave, my heart
Don't upset your cart when she's so close
Be soft, be sweet, but be discreet
Don't go off your feet, she's so close for comfort

Too close, too close for comfort, please, not again
Too close, too close to know just when to say "when"

Be firm, be fair, be sure, beware
On your guard, take care, while there's such temptation

One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
She's much too close for comfort now

Too close, too close for comfort, please, not again
Too close, too close to know just when to say "when"

Be firm and be fair, be sure, beware
On your guard, take care, while there's such temptation

One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
She's much too close for comfort now

Too close, much too close
She's much too close for comfort now

Calypso Blues lyrics - Natalie Cole

Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay
Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay

Sittin' by de ocean
Me heart, she feel so sad,
Sittin' by de ocean,
Me heart, she feel so sad...
Don't got de money
To take me back to Trinidad.

Fine calypso woman,
She cook me shrimp and rice,
Fine calypso woman,
She cook me shrimp and rice
Dese yankee hot dogs
Don't treat me stomach very nice.

In Trinidad, one dollar buy
Papaya juice, banana pie,
Six coconut, one female goat,
An' plenty fish to fill de boat.
One bushel bread, one barrel wine,
An' all de town, she come to dine.

But here is bad, one dollar buy
Cup of coffee, ham on rye.
Me throat she sick from necktie,
Me feet hurt from shoes.
Me pocket full of empty,
I got Calypso blues.

Dese yankee girl give me big scare,
Is black de root, is blonde de hair.
Her eyelash false, her face is paint,
And pads are where de girl she ain't

She jitterbug when she should waltz,
I even think her name is false.
But calypso girl is good a lot,
Is what you see, is what she got.

Sittin' by de ocean
Me heart, she feel so sad,
Sittin' by de ocean,
Me heart, she feel so sad
Don't got de money
To take me back to Trinidad.

Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay
Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay

Lovers lyrics - Natalie Cole

(Lovers, lovers, lovers, lovers, everywhere)
Everywhere I go, in every face I see the sign of love
Shining so brightly, its in the air, its everywhere, I can feel it in my bones
People holding hands, making love, really, really getting it on
I'm crazy 'bout lovers, beautiful lovers, everywhere
Yeah, yeah, lovers, beautiful lovers, everywhere
And everywhere I go I hear people say
That they wouldn't mind checking it out, ah getting down
Don't you know that life can be beautiful, life can be wonderful when you
Can always have that special someone around, and I'm talking 'bout lovers, ooh
Beautiful lovers, don't you know that there everywhere, lovers, beautiful lovers
(Everywhere) everywhere, (everywhere) in the air (everywhere)
And if you like romancing and you don't want no dancing
Then check this groove out baby you'll see
It is the sweetest sugar that you'll ever taste
You gotta chase those blues, get over 'em, don't stop now controlling 'em
Then you'll find you're shaking 'em, get if all while you can, have a ball
There's a feeling and its catching, look what's happenin'
Take a trip, make it hip, cuz you'll dig it, ah Lovers, beautiful lovers, everywhere
Lovers, (scat), (lovers, beautiful lovers, everywhere)
Ah lovers (scat), (lovers, beautiful lovers, everywhere)

All About Love lyrics - Natalie Cole

Thinkers think about love till it comes out their ears
Drinkers drink about love and they cry in their beers
Now you can think about it, drink about it
But if you're on the brink about it
Don't fall till you know all about love

Singers croon about love sing with sadness and pain
A tycoon about love spends a fortune in vain
Sing a dirge about it, splurge about it
But if you're on the verge about it
Don't fall till you know all about love

You must examine your motives clearly
Look at the facts sincerely
Or you mess up very dearly if you don't

Writers write about love till their fingers are sore
Fighters fight about love till their flat on the floor
You can write about it, fight about it
Think about it, drink about it
But there's one item I forgot to recall

You can't know all about love unless you fall

Ah, thinkers think about love till it comes out their ears
And drinkers drink about love and they cry in their beers
But you can think about it, drink about it
But if you're on the brink about it
Don't fall till you know all about love

Writers write about love till their fingers are sore
Fighters fight about love till their flat on the floor
Now you can write about it, fight about it
Think about it, drink about it
But there's one item I forgot to recall

You can't know all about love no, no
'Cause I know all about love, yeah yeah
You can't know all about love unless you fall
In love

You must examine your motives clearly
Look at the facts sincerely
Or you mess up very dearly if you don't

Doctors know about love that it's bad on the nerves
Drivers show about love that it's hard on the curves
Lose your nerve about it, squirm about it
Doubt about it, pout about it
But there's one item I forgot to recall

You can't know all about love no, no
'Cause I know all about love, yeah yeah
You can't know all about love no, no
'Cause I know all about love, yeah yeah

You can't know all about love unless you fall
In love

Take A Look lyrics - Natalie Cole

Take a look in the mirror, look at yourself
But don't you look too close, cause you just might see the person
That you hate the most, Lord, what's happening to this human race
I can't even see one friendly face, brothers fight brothers and sisters wink their eyes
While silver tongues bear fruits of poison lies, take a look at your children
Born innocent, every boy and every girl, denying themselves a real chance
To build a better world, oh! Dear Lord what's happening to your precious dream
I think its washing away on a bloody, bloody stream, yes, take a look at your children
Before it's too late, and tell them nobody, nobody wins when the prize is hate
Oh, no, no, no It's not too late, we gotta tell all of our children
That love, love, love is the way, yeah, yeah

"Unforgettable... With Love" (1991)

The Very Thought Of You lyrics - Natalie Cole

The very thought of you,
and I forget to do,
the little ordinary things
that everyone ought to do.

I'm living in a kind of daydream.
I'm happy as a king.
And foolish though it may seem
to me, that's everything.

The mere idea of you,
the longing here for you…
You'll never know how slow the moments go
‘til I'm near to you.

I see your face in every flower,
your eyes in stars above.
It's just the thought of you,
the very thought of you,
my love.

The mere idea of you,
the longing here for you…
You'll never know how slow the moments go
‘til I'm near to you

I see your face in every flower,
your eyes in stars above.
It's just the thought the of you,
the very thought of you,
my love.

Paper Moon lyrics - Natalie Cole

I never feel a thing is real
When I'm away from you
Out of your embrace
The world's a temporary parking place
Mmm... A bubble for a minute
Mmm... you smile
The bubble has a rainbow in it

Say it's only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me

Yes it's only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me

Without your love
It's a honky tank parade
With out your love
It's a melody played in a penny arcade
It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me, oh...

[scat]

Yes it's only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me

Without your love
It's a honky tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played in a penny arcade
It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me

[scat p.2]

Route 66 lyrics - Natalie Cole

If you, ever plan to motor West
Travel my way, take the highway that's the best
Get your kicks, on Route 66

It winds, from Chicago to L.A.
More than two-thousand miles all the way
Get your kicks, on Route 66.

Now you go through Saint Looey
And Joplin, Missouri
And Oklahoma City looks mighty pretty
You'll see Amarillo
Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona; don't forget Winona
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernandino

Won't you, get hip to this timely tip
When you make, that Cal-i-fornia trip
Get your kicks, on Route 66

[solos: bass, piano]

Won't you... get hip to this timely tip
When you make, that Cal-i-fornia trip

Get your kicks, on Route, 66
Come on and get your kicks, on Route 6-6
Get your kicks, on Route 66

Mona Lisa lyrics - Natalie Cole

Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa men have named you
You're so like the lady with the mystic smile
Is it only cause you're lonely they have blamed you
For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your style
Do you smile to tempt a lover Mona Lisa
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart
Many dreams have been brought to your door step
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm? Are you real Mona Lisa?
Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art

[Musical Interlude]

Do you smile to tempt a lover Mona Lisa
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart
Many dreams have been brought to your door step
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm? Are you real Mona Lisa?
Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art
Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa

L-O-V-E lyrics - Natalie Cole

L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore can love

It's all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart but please don't break it
Love was made for me and you

Yeah L is for the way you look - you're lookin' at me
And O is for the only one I see
V is so very very extraordinary
Now E is even more than any-any-anyone that you adore can love

It's all that I'm gonna give to you
Oh love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart but please don't you break it
'Cause love was made for me and you
I'm a-tellin' you that love was made for me and you
Don't you know that love was made for me and you

This Can't Be Love lyrics - Natalie Cole

This can't be love, because I feel so well,
No sobs, no sorrows, no sighs.
This can't be love; I get no dizzy spells,
My head is not in the skies.

My heart does not stand still, just hear it beat.
This is too sweet to be love.

This can't be love, because I feel so well,
But still I love to look in your eyes.

[Instrumental interlude]

My heart does not stand still, just hear it beat.
This is too sweet to be love.

This can't be love, because I feel so well,
But still I love to look in your eyes.
Still I love to look in your eyes.
