TWO CLASSIC NAT "KING" COLE SONGS ON A 1957 UK CAPITOL 78

STARDUST  

b/w   LOVE LETTERS

Nathaniel Adams Coles (March 17, 1919 – February 15, 1965), known professionally as Nat King Cole, was an American musician who first came to prominence as a leading jazz pianist. Although an accomplished pianist, he owes most of his popular musical fame to his soft baritone voice, which he used to perform in big band and jazz genres. He was the first black American to host a television variety show and has maintained worldwide popularity over 40 years past his death; he is widely considered one of the most important musical personalities in United States history

STARDUST

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 now the stardust of yesterday

The music of the years gone by

Sometimes I wonder why I spend

The lonely night dreaming of a song

The melody haunts my reverie

And I am once again with you

When our love was new

And each kiss an inspiration

But that was long ago

Now my consolation

Is in the stardust of a song

Beside a garden wall

When stars are bright

You are in my arms

The nightingale tells his fairy tale

of paradise where roses grew

Though I dream in vain

In my heart it will remain

My stardust melody

The memory of love's refrain

LOVE LETTERS 

(edward heyman, victor young)

The sky may be starless,

The night may be moonless.

But deep in my heart,

I know that you love me,

You love me, because you told me so.

Love letters straight from your heart

Keep us so near while we're apart.

I'm not alone in the night

When I can have all the love you write.

I memorize every line,

I kiss the name that you sign.

And darling, then I read again

Right from the start,

Love letters straight from your heart.

I memorize every line,

I kiss the name that you sign.

And darling, then I read again

Right from the start,

Love letters straight from your heart.
