Teach Me Tonight lyrics - Natalie Cole


[Talking]
Excuse me, did you call yourself a love expert?
Studied, graduated and qualified to show me what it's all about?
Oh honey, talk is cheap, you're gonna have to convince me.

[Singing]
Did you say I've got a lot to learn
Well don't think I'm trying not to learn
Right here is the perfect spot to learn
Teach me tonight

Starting with the ABC of it
Right down to the XYZ of it
Teach me the whole mystery of it
Teach me tonight

Well the sky's a black board high above us
And if a shooting star should fly by
I'll take that star and write "I love you"
"I love you" a thousand times across the sky

One thing isn't very clear, my love
Should the teacher stand so near, my love
Graduation's almost here, my love
Come on and teach me tonight

[Interlude]

The sky's a blackboard high above you
And if a shooting star should fly by
I'll take that star and write "I love you"
A thousand times across the sky

Ahh, one thing, one thing isn't very clear
Should no teacher stand so near
Graduation's almost here
Come on and teach me tonight

Graduation's almost here, my love
Teach me, teach me tonight

Ohhh Ohh

When I Fall In Love lyrics - Natalie Cole

(originally by Doris Day)

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

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 (Completely)
Or I'll never give my heart (Give my heart)

And the moment
I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love (When I fall in love) with you

Oh, this love feels so right.

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

What A Difference A Day Made lyrics - Natalie Cole

What a difference a day made
Twenty four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain

My yesterday was blue dear
Today I'm a part of you dear
My lonely nights are through dear
Since you said you were mine

What a difference a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss

It's heaven when you
Find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you

What a difference a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss

It's heaven when you
Find romance on your menu
What a difference a day makes
And the difference is you

What a difference a day made
Twenty four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain

It's heaven when you
Find romance on your menu
What a difference a day makes
And the difference is you [3x]

Love Letters 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, its 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, musical Interlude
Yeh, L is for the way you look, you're looking at me
And O is for the only one I see, V is so very, very extra ordinary

Now E is even more than any, any, anyone that you adore
Can love, its 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 telling you love
Was made for me and you, don't you know that love
Was made for me and you..

He Was Too Good To Me lyrics - Natalie Cole

There goes my young intended
The thing has ended, regrets are vain
I'll never find another half so sweet
And we'll never meet again
I got impatient, told him goodbye
Sad eyes out in the rain

He was too good to me
How can I get along now?
So close he stood to me
Everything seems all wrong now
He would have brought me the sun
Making me smile, that was his fun

When I was mean to him
He'd never say go away now
I was a queen to him
Who's gonna make me gay now
It's only natural that I'm blue
He was too good to be true

Dindi lyrics - Natalie Cole

Sky so vast is the sky
With far away clouds just wandering by
Where do they go? Oh, I don't know, don't know

Wind that speaks to the leaves
Telling Stories that no one believes
Stories of love belong to you and me

Oh Dindi, if I only had words
I would say all the beautiful things that I see
When you're with me, oh, my Dindi

Oh Dindi, like the song of the wind in the trees
That's how my heart is singing Dindi
Happy Dindi when you're with me

I love you more each day, yes, I do, yes, I do
I'd let you go away if you take me with you

Don't you know, my Dindi?
I'd be running and searching for you
Like a river that can't find the sea
That would be me without you, my Dindi

I love you more each day, yes, I do, yes, I do
I'd let you go away if you take me with you

Don't you know, Dindi?
I'd be running and searching for you
Like a river that can't find the sea
That would be me without you, without you, yeah
My Dindi, my Dindi, my Dindi

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
