Unforgettable
That's what you 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

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

Love Nat King Cole. Loved when they arranged the duo with his daughter. It was awesome. Sad story about Natalie. She sure was proud when she did it. She said she felt her dad picking her up.
