Song No. 28 "Unforgettable"

Words and Music by Irving Gordon

The beguiling lilt and quiet warmth of this song made it a perfect fit for the
mellow, honey-and-sand voice of  Nat "King" Cole. It was a No. 1 hit
for the unforgettable Nat in 1951.
Forty years later, daughter Natalie Cole recorded a "duet" with her
father, and "Unforgettable" hit the charts once again.

Lyrics

Unforgettable, that's what your are,
Unforgettable, though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me,
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before
Has someone been more

Unforgettable, in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too..
