If Love Ain't There lyrics - Natalie Cole

Better face the facts, ol' buddy
And be prepared to take the blow
You don't have to sit and study
It's something anyone should know

Shake hands
Get your hat
And go

You can praise her eyes
And adore her hair
But, if love ain't there
It ain't there

And you can walk her home
In the warm spring air
But, if love ain't there
It ain't there

And you can look with a longing in your look
And try every method in the book
And worship the smile that kind of
Took you unaware

And you can weep and sigh, you can say, "Unfair"
You can almost die of despair
But, if love ain't there
It ain't there

To Whom It May Concern lyrics - Natalie Cole

To whom it may concern
You've found another love, I know
To whom it may concern
My heart won't ever let you go
You tore my heart apart when you found somebody new
But you found out that your heart could be broken too, so

To whom it may concern
You've learned that heartache has no pride
Pretending unconcertn won't stop those tears you try to hide

And when you're all alone
With just a memory
That's when I bet you'll learn the one who's most concerned is me

And when you're all alone
With just a memory
That's when I bet you'll learn the one who's most concerned is me

Where Can I Go Without You lyrics - Natalie Cole

I went to London town
Then on to Paris for the fun I could find
I've found I couldn't leave my memories behind
Where can I go without you?

Tries 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 want to 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 that boat again and farewell to France
Farewell to London town they haven't a chance
I'll trade the sights I've seen for one loving glance
Where can I go without you?

Back on the boat again farewell to France
Farewell to London town they haven't a chance
I'll trade the sights I've seen for one loving glance
Where can I go?

Where can I go?
Where can I go without you?...

Ahmad's Blues lyrics - Natalie Cole

I go through the strangest kind of changes
Tryin' to find myself a way to pay my dues
And would you believe it, I'm so urban
My suburban friends don't know my bag of blues

I'm up in the mornin' on the corner so sedated
That you hardly know it's me
And late in the evening when I'm mellow
There's my fellow with the world for me to see

Oh, it's a world full of cocktails at nine
Dinners and wine and very late shows
And where the crowd goes

I'm a girl with a world of her own
A queen on her throne
Till every thing's gone and then

I wake up to find that I'm a stranger
In a world where I have never been before
I look for the man who held my hand
But now I know that he'll be coming back no more

I'm telling you 'bout this bag of blues
It's payin' dues, but I got news
Gimme that, I really want that

Speakin' 'bout bag of blues
Mister, I'm payin' dues
Listen I'm changin' shoes
I'm gonna make me some changes

I walk in a daze and then I'm back to my apartment
Where I'll grab another wink
And doze on the sofa till eleven
Then get up and pour myself another drink

Then back at the party, I'll be hearty
While waitin' for some better news
But now in the meantime
I'll just sit right here and cool it

We're gonna cool it now
And listen to the rhythm
Ahmad's blues

Pick Yourself Up lyrics - Natalie Cole

Pick yourself up, take a deep breath, dust yourself off
And start all over again, nothing's impossible I have found
For when my chin is on the ground, I pick myself up
Dust myself off, and start all over again, don't lose your confidence if you slip
Be grateful for a pleasant trip, just pick yourself up, and dust yourself off
And start all over again, work like a soul inspired, 'til the battle of the day is won
You may be sick and tired, but you'll be a man my son
Will you remember the famous men, who had to fall to rise again
So take a deep breath, pick yourself up, Dust yourself off and start all over again
Musical Interlude
Don't lose your confidence if you slip, be grateful for a pleasant trip
Just pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and try to start all over again

[Scat]

You've got to work like a soul inspired, 'til the battle of the day is won
You may be sick, you may be tired, but you're gonna be a man my son
Will you remember the famous men who had to fall to rise again
Just take a deep breath,ah, pick yourself up
Dust yourself off, have a nice trip and start all over again

[Scat and laughter]

If You Could See Me Now lyrics - Natalie Cole

Like A Lover lyrics - Natalie Cole

Like a lover, the morning sun slowly rises and kisses you awake
Your smile is soft and drowsy as you let it play upon your face
Oh how I dream I might be like the morning sun to you

Like a lover the river wind,
Sighs and ripples it's fingers through your hair
Upon your cheek it lingers, never have I known a sweeter place
Oh how I dream I might be like the river wind to you

Oh how I envy a cup that knows your lips
Let it be me, my love
And a table that feels your fingertips
Let it be me, let me be your love
Bring an end to the endless days and nights without you

Like a lover the velvet moon shares your pillow and watches while you sleep
It's light arrives on tiptoe gently taking you in it's embrace
Oh how I dream I might be like the velvet moon to you

Como um radio de sol (Like the sunshine)
A brincar com seui rosto (Playing upon your face)

Oh how I envy a cup that knows your lips let it be me
My love and a table that feels your fingertips
Let it be me, let me be your love
Bring an end to the endless days and nights without you

Like a lover the velvet moon shares you pillow and watches while you sleep
It's light arrives on tiptoe gently taking you in it's embrace
Oh how I dream I might be like the velvet moon to you

I might be like the velvet moon to you

Como um radio de sol (Like the sunshine)

I might be like the velvet moon to you

A brincar com seui rosto (Playing upon your face)

I might be like the velvet moon to you

Como um radio de sol (Like the sunshine)

I might be like the velvet moon wanna be like the velvet moon

I might be like the velvet moon to you

This Morning It Was Summer lyrics - Natalie Cole

This morning it was summer
I remember long ago
A skylark on my shoulder
Told me so

This morning we were lovers
We were happy and we were gay
But now, love
You are somewhere far away

You left me in the sunshine
Now there is rain
Oh, I tried so just to find you
But all my searching was in vain

This evening it is winter
Yet my heart sounds this alarm
This morning it was summer
In your arms

Yes, I tried so hard to find you
But all my searching was in vain

This evening it is winter
Yet my heart sounds this alarm
This morning it was summer
In your arms
Summer in, summer in your arms

"Take A Look" (1993)

I Wish You Love lyrics - Natalie Cole

Good-bye, no use leading with our chins
This is where our story ends
Never lovers, ever friends
Good-bye, let our hearts call it a day
But before you walk away
I sincerely want to say
I wish you bluebirds in the spring
To give your heart a song to sing
And then a kiss, but more than this
I wish you love
And in July a lemonade
To cool you in some leafy glade
I wish you health
But more than wealth
I wish you love
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best
My very best
I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all when snowflakes fall
I wish you love
But most of all when snowflakes fall
I wish you love
I wish you love, love, love, love, love
I wish you love
I really wish you love, really wish you love

I'm Beginning To See The Light lyrics - Natalie Cole

I never cared much for moonlit skies
I never wink back at fireflies
But now that the stars are in your eyes
I'm beginning to see the light

I never went in for afterglow
Or candlelight on the mistletoe
But now when you turn the lamp down low
I'm beginning to see the light

Used to ramble through the park
Shadowboxing in the dark
Then you came and caused a spark
That's a four-alarm fire now

I never made love by lantern-shine
I never saw rainbows in my wine
But now that your lips are burning mine
I'm beginning to see the light

Used to ramble through the park
Shadowboxing in the dark
Then you came and caused a spark
That's a four-alarm fire now

I never made love by lantern-shine
I never saw rainbows in my wine
But now that your lips are burning mine
I'm beginning to see the light

Crazy He Calls Me lyrics - Natalie Cole

I say I'll move the mountains
And I'll move the mountains
If he wants them out of the way
Crazy he calls me
Sure, I'm crazy
Crazy in love, I say

I say I'll go through fire
And Ill go through fire
As he wants it, so it will be
Crazy he calls me
Sure, I'm crazy
Crazy in love, you see

Like the wind that shakes the bough
He moves me with a smile
The difficult I'll do right now
The impossible will take a little while
I say I'll care forever
And I mean forever
If I have to hold up the sky
Crazy he calls me
Sure, I'm crazy
Crazy in love am I

Cry Me A River lyrics - Natalie Cole

Now you say you're lonely
You cry the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

You drove me, nearly drove me, out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember, all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and

Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
Come on and cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
I cried a river...over you...

Undecided lyrics - Natalie Cole

First you say you do and then you don't,
And then you say you will and then you won't,
You're undecided now, so what are you gonna do?

Now you want to play, and then it's no,
And when you say you'll stay, that's when you go,
You're undecided now, so what are you gonna do?

I've been sittin' on a fence,
And it doesn't make much sense,
Cause you keep me in suspense
And you know it!
Then you promise to return;
When you don't I really burn,
Well, I guess I'll never learn,
And I show it!

If you got a heart, and if you're kind,
Then don't keep us apart, make up your mind,
You're undecided now, so what are you gonna do?

I've been sittin' on a fence,
And it doesn't make much sense,
'Cause you keep me in suspense
And you know it! Then you promise to return;
When you don't I really burn,
Well, I guess I'll never learn,
And I show it!

If you got a heart, and if you're kind,
Then don't keep us apart, make up your mind,
You're undecided now, so what are you gonna do?

Now, if you don't love me, I wish you'd say so,
I love you so much, honey, I just got to know;
I'm just a fool for you; what are you gonna do?

I'm Gonna Laugh You Right Out Of My Life lyrics - Natalie Cole

I'm gonna laugh you right out of my life,
Laugh, and forget this affair
Guess I was foolish
To care.

So I'm gonna dance you right out of my dreams,
Try to be carefree and gay
I guess I'll learn to play
The part.

'Cause when our friends begin that
Heartless rumor,
I know I'll really need my
Sense of humor.

I'm gonna laugh you right out of my life,
Make it a beautiful joke.
No one will know you broke
My heart.

But if I find you and I
Really meant that last goodbye,
Then I'm gonna laugh so hard,
I'll cry.

But if I find you and I
Really meant that last goodbye,
Then I'm gonna laugh so hard
I'll cry.
