With My Eyes Wide Open I'm Dreaming lyrics - Natalie Cole
With my eyes wide open, I'm dreaming
Can it be true, I'm holding you close to my heart?
With my eyes wide open, I'm dreaming
You're with me now, sharing a vow never to part
When I'm so afraid
To close my eyes
Afraid that I'll find
This lovely thrill is just a silly illusion
With my eyes wide open, I'm dreaming
Do I deserve such a break?
Pinch me to prove I'm awake
'Coz I can't believe that you're really mine
I'm so afraid
This is just an illusion
With my eyes wide open, I'm dreaming
Do I deserve such a break?
Please, pinch me to prove I'm awake
I can't believe that you're really mine
You're really mine
Am I dreaming? I must be dreaming
With my eyes wide open
Eyes wide open
Can it be true, I'm holding you close to my heart?
With my eyes wide open, I'm dreaming
You're with me now, sharing a vow never to part
When I'm so afraid
To close my eyes
Afraid that I'll find
This lovely thrill is just a silly illusion
With my eyes wide open, I'm dreaming
Do I deserve such a break?
Pinch me to prove I'm awake
'Coz I can't believe that you're really mine
I'm so afraid
This is just an illusion
With my eyes wide open, I'm dreaming
Do I deserve such a break?
Please, pinch me to prove I'm awake
I can't believe that you're really mine
You're really mine
Am I dreaming? I must be dreaming
With my eyes wide open
Eyes wide open
His Eyes, Her Eyes lyrics - Natalie Cole
His eyes, her eyes
Warm and quiet lovers
Gazing, drowning
Lost in what they see
His words, her words
Strangely unrevealing
Question, answer
Careful as can be
What they say with their eyes
How they give themselves away with their eyes
They betray with their eyes
Everything they are
Is it just in a kiss
That their fences turn to dust in a kiss
Ooh they must in a kiss
Promise their tomorrows
His move, her move
Is it now or never
Heaven, Eden
Could be theirs forever
For his eyes and her eyes
Are yours and mine
Warm and quiet lovers
Gazing, drowning
Lost in what they see
His words, her words
Strangely unrevealing
Question, answer
Careful as can be
What they say with their eyes
How they give themselves away with their eyes
They betray with their eyes
Everything they are
Is it just in a kiss
That their fences turn to dust in a kiss
Ooh they must in a kiss
Promise their tomorrows
His move, her move
Is it now or never
Heaven, Eden
Could be theirs forever
For his eyes and her eyes
Are yours and mine
Since You Asked - Natalie Cole
What I'll give you since you've asked
Is all my time together
Take the rugged sunny days
The warm and rocky weather
Take the roads that I have walked along
Looking for tomorrow's time, peace of mind
As my life spills into yours
Changing with the hours
Filling up the world with time
And turning time to flowers
I can show you all the songs
That I never sang to one man before
We have seen a million stones
Lying by the water
You have climbed the hills with me
To the mountain shelter
Taken off the days one by one
Setting them to breathe in the sun
Take the lilies and the lace
From the days of childhood
All the willow winding paths
Leading up and outward
This is what I give, this is what I ask you for
Oh, this is what I give, this is what I ask you for
Nothing more
Is all my time together
Take the rugged sunny days
The warm and rocky weather
Take the roads that I have walked along
Looking for tomorrow's time, peace of mind
As my life spills into yours
Changing with the hours
Filling up the world with time
And turning time to flowers
I can show you all the songs
That I never sang to one man before
We have seen a million stones
Lying by the water
You have climbed the hills with me
To the mountain shelter
Taken off the days one by one
Setting them to breathe in the sun
Take the lilies and the lace
From the days of childhood
All the willow winding paths
Leading up and outward
This is what I give, this is what I ask you for
Oh, this is what I give, this is what I ask you for
Nothing more
Gotta Serve Somebody - Natalie Cole
You may be an ambassador to England or France
You might like to gamble, you might like to dance
You may be the heavyweight champion of the world
You might be a socialite with a long string of pearls
But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Serve somebody, serve somebody
It might be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody
You might be a rock 'n' roll man, prancing on the stage
Plenty of drugs at your command and women in a cage
You might be a businessman or some high degree thief
They may call you 'Doctor', they may call you 'Chief'
But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Oh, serve somebody, yeah, yeah, serve somebody
Oh, it may be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody
Now, you may be a State Trooper, you might be a young Turk
You may even be the head of some great big TV network
You may be rich or poor and you may be blind or chained
You might be living in another country under another name
But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Oh, serve somebody, serve somebody
It might be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're still gonna have to serve somebody
Maybe a construction worker working on a home
Might be living in a mansion, you might live in a dome
You may own guns, you may even own tanks
You may be somebody's landlord, you might even own banks
But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Oh yeah, serve somebody, serve somebody
Oh, it might be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody
Now you can call me Terry or you might call me Moore
You may call me David or you might call me Coe
You can call me RJ or you can call me Ray
You can call me anything, I don't care what you say
You're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Oh, serve somebody, serve somebody
It might be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody
You may be a rock 'n' roll star, prancing on the stage
You got plenty of drugs at your command, you got women in a cage
You might be a big businessman or some high degree thief
Now they might call you 'Doctor', they might call you 'Chief'
But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Serve somebody, serve somebody
It might be the devil or it might be the Lord

It might be the devil, it might be, it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Oh man, you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Serve somebody, serve somebody
Serve somebody, serve somebody

Oh, serve somebody, yeah, yeah, serve somebody
Oh, it may be the devil or it might be the Lord

There's A Lull In My Life lyrics - Natalie Cole
Ohh, there's a lull in my life
It's just a void, an empty space
When you are not in my embrace
Ohh, there's a lull in my life
The moment that you go away
There is no night, there is no day
The clock stops ticking
The world stops turning, everything stops
But the flame in my heart
That keeps burning, burning
Ohh, there's a lull in my life
No matter how I may pretend
I know that you alone can end
The ache in my heart
The call of my arms
The lull in my life
Oh, the clock it stops ticking
And the world just stops turning, everything stops
But the flame in my heart
That keeps burning, burning
Oh, there's a lull in my life
No matter how I may pretend
I know that you alone can end
This ache in my heart
The call of my arms
The lull in my life
There's a lull in my life
It's just a void, an empty space
When you are not in my embrace
Ohh, there's a lull in my life
The moment that you go away
There is no night, there is no day
The clock stops ticking
The world stops turning, everything stops
But the flame in my heart
That keeps burning, burning
Ohh, there's a lull in my life
No matter how I may pretend
I know that you alone can end
The ache in my heart
The call of my arms
The lull in my life
Oh, the clock it stops ticking
And the world just stops turning, everything stops
But the flame in my heart
That keeps burning, burning
Oh, there's a lull in my life
No matter how I may pretend
I know that you alone can end
This ache in my heart
The call of my arms
The lull in my life
There's a lull in my life
Stardust lyrics - Natalie Cole
And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we're apart
You wander down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is like the stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone by
Sometimes I wonder why I spend the lonely nights
Dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
Oh when our love was new
And each kiss and inspiration
But that was long ago
Now my consolation is in the stardust of a song
Beside the garden wall when stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightengale, he tells his little fairytale
Of paradise where roses grew
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The melody of love's refrain
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we're apart
You wander down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is like the stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone by
Sometimes I wonder why I spend the lonely nights
Dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
Oh when our love was new
And each kiss and inspiration
But that was long ago
Now my consolation is in the stardust of a song
Beside the garden wall when stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightengale, he tells his little fairytale
Of paradise where roses grew
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The melody of love's refrain
Let's Face The Music And Dance lyrics - Natalie Cole
There may be trouble ahead
But while there's moonlight and music
And love and romance
Let's face the music and dance
Before the fiddlers have fled
Before they ask us to pay the bill
And while we still have the chance
Let's face the music and dance
Soon, we'll be without the moon
Humming a different tune and then
There may be teardrops to shed
So, while there's moonlight and music
And love and romance
Let's face the music and dance, dance
Let's face the music and dance
But while there's moonlight and music
And love and romance
Let's face the music and dance
Before the fiddlers have fled
Before they ask us to pay the bill
And while we still have the chance
Let's face the music and dance
Soon, we'll be without the moon
Humming a different tune and then
There may be teardrops to shed
So, while there's moonlight and music
And love and romance
Let's face the music and dance, dance
Let's face the music and dance
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
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]
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..
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
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
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
